Paints an optimistic portrait of a much misunderstood generation that has never known a world without the internet. * Observer * In Gen Z, Explained: The Art of Living in a Digital Age, university professors Katz, Ogilvie, Shaw, and Woodhead (hereafter KOS&W) try to understand the digital medium by studying the first generation-mine-never to know life without the internet. * First Things * This extraordinarily rich and empathetic account of Gen Z offers a groundbreaking understanding of this generation's habits and motivations without reducing them to the sum of their posts and tweets. This work excels in unpacking the subtle ways that identity formation and presentation of self are seamlessly interwoven with digital communication for Zoomers. Parents, teachers, and anyone who cares about our future as a society should read this deeply informed contribution to the research on Gen Z. -- Devorah Heitner, author of Screenwise: Helping Kids Thrive and Survive in Their Digital World This book is [fire emoji] (an intimate and indispensable guide to the identities and belonging of postmillennials-and some surprising lessons for all of us). -- Richard A.
