Review: Validates everything Gen X dealt with in our formative years. - Very interesting book, came in the condition I expected, and it was on time. Not a nice representation of boomers but highly accurate in its description of how and why my generation was shaped, our ideologies, things we have in common with one another, how we're different than other generations, etc. I was honestly surprised at how frequently I nodded with recognition and/or agreement while I read. It validated my experiences. The feelings of disenfranchisement, alienation, disconnection from humanity, melancholia, anger, etc that are simply leftovers from an extremely dysfunctional upbringing by extremely hypocritical and neglectful parents. I'm looking at boomers with ever increasingly distrustful and critical eye (which prior to reading this book I thought would be impossible.) Review: Back to The Future Shock of Now CPTSD - To the reviewer who wrote that this book saved him from 'killing his father and evil step-mother": I HEAR YOU BROTHER, loud and clear!! For me, it is somewhat the reverse: this book, and the concepts it details, went far for me, in explaining why my evil narcissistic mother and her wicked consort my evil stepfather, wanted to kill me. I in turn simply finally cut them both out of my life permanently. Plus, I always was told that I was part of the 'baby boom' generation being born in 1961--but my husband who was born in the 1950's has always said that my year was beyond the baby boom years. The only reason "they" expanded the boomer years to cover up to 1964, was for political reasons such as some stupid current (i'm writing this in 2017) govt program to force 'boomers' to get tested for hep-C, and all kinds of fake news nonsense government stupidity that kills people, like that. Yes, I'm angry. I find out I'm really Gen x and that does make a lot of sense. The 1970's was a generation that tried to kill its own children under the auspices of 'public education programs' and more. In the fourth turning it describes a generation that is protective of its children and a generation that literally sacrifices its children on the altars of such government programs, social experiments, etc. & so on. We gen x'ers were in the 'sacrificial' generation and yeah, it don't feel good, to put it mildly. That is why there is so much anger. That is why there is so much chaos in society - at least, that is one reason. We were offered like lambs to be slaughtered and this book explains it a bunch, as does The Fourth Turning. For me, I'm taking my life back from all that nonsense that was forced on me in the mid-1960s and throughout the 1970s. I'm over and done with that. It was the bad old days of the 1970s when attorneys made tons of money suing people and the culture of scorched earth lawsuits in the civil arena took over. Insurance companies paid like slot machines back then and lawsuits and 'civil extortion' was rampant. My family and my friends have all been victims of that as well, in various ways. Also, there was a med mal crisis in the state of California and elsewhere, part of that stupid litigious attorney attitude, that forever changed how doctors will treat people in that state, and as a result medical care in that state suffered. I believe it swept over the rest of the country as well but I got out a long time ago and where I live now doesn't have that problem so I don't know. I only know I feel like I have CPTSD from the culture of the 1970's. Not to mention the vietnam war and all of that. Too much to discuss here. Anyway - this is an excellent book. It really filled in a HUGE missing piece of the puzzle for me and my family. Thank you to the authors for writing it and also The Fourth Turning. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #294,049 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #9,941 in Social Sciences (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 4.6 out of 5 stars (70) | | Dimensions | 7.49 x 0.65 x 8.85 inches | | Edition | 1st | | ISBN-10 | 0679743650 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0679743651 | | Item Weight | 1.05 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 240 pages | | Publication date | March 23, 1993 | | Publisher | Vintage | ## Images ![13th Gen: Abort, Retry, Ignore, Fail? - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71BNhOEdhXL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Validates everything Gen X dealt with in our formative years. *by K***E on March 7, 2026* Very interesting book, came in the condition I expected, and it was on time.
