Title: light-weight stuff here
Product review: This is certainly not the worst book ever written about twentieth century culture, but it is awfully smooth and conventional. His ideas about intergenerational discontent is as old as Dr. Spock, and he never questions the assertions of the more trashy books of late Marcuse. Slater just reiterates all this stuff in nicely written, clear language. I don't think this book will manage to evoke a single interesting idea for someone who has concerned themselves with the implications of political theory in the last two decades. Light-weight, but of course there is worse.
