X Saves the World<\/a>. How generation X got the shaft but can still keep everything from sucking. Jeff Gordinier. 2008. ISBN 9780670018581. So the secret is out. With the election of a Gen X<\/a> President Obama, it is time for the boomers to just get out of the way. Gen X has already brought sweeping changes, from Google<\/a>, Craigslist<\/a>, Youtube<\/a>, Wikipedia, Tech billionaires, Nirvana<\/a>, Jon Stewart<\/a>, Stephen Colbert<\/a> and much more. While the world was not watching the slacker generation has been doing all the work. Gordinier does a good job with his subject and it does make an old boomer like myself take notice. In such a short book, he packs a lot in, and I confess to not even knowing much about what was important to this generation. Very interesting to me and to the Gen X ers of course<\/p>\n
