Book Synopsis
Tells the history of America from the atomic age to the virtual age. This is an account of the baby boomers, their parents, and children, as seen through the places they built, the music and movies and shows they loved, and the battles they fought to define their nation, their culture, and their place in what remains a fragile and dangerous world.

Trade Review
"This is an utterly original, unprecedented work of cultural history and commentary, a tour de force, based on an exhaustive array of sources, explicating American experience from World War II to the present. There are simply no books on this period with this scope." (Jeffrey L. Meikle, University of Texas at Austin)"
