It has been said that history is written by the victor. I am from this time (born in 69) and I was a mucisian from the liberal northeast of the US (born and grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts). The history recounted by the author is not what I remember. It was a much more conservative age than they author lets on.
But the reflection upon being the generation which grew up analog but groks digital is true. We shall never be again. We know what it is to not be able to reach someone simply because they are not by their phone at home. We know the joy of solitude and the peace and refuge of time spent in our own thoughts when evil can not constantly whisper agenda into our ear.
We are the only group who identify with both sides of the divide.
