iGen

This book examines iGen, the generation born after 1995 who are the first to grow up entirely with smartphones. Unlike previous generations, they spend less time with friends in person, instead socializing through social media and texting, which correlates with unprecedented levels of anxiety, depression, and loneliness. They're maturing more slowly, are highly focused on safety and tolerance, reject inequality, and have different attitudes toward religion, sexuality, and politics. Drawing from surveys of 11 million young people, the book argues that understanding this generation is essential for parents, educators, employers, and iGen members themselves, as their values and behaviors will shape the future of society.
