Title: culture defined, but not much more
Product review: This book looks very exciting and very promising. It may have started out as a great idea, but there is just nothing to read in it. There is absolutely nothing new. Yes, when people leave home and get jobs they have friends before they get married. There is almost no research beyond his descriptions of a few "urban tribes" that feel like they are part of some crazy new phenomenon. In one section where he tries to get philosophical, rather than researching actual philosophers, he actually paraphrases high school papers he found on Google (with no citation at all). Then he has the audacity to criticize them. " Much of what [Aristotle] came up with was unremarkable". After the first chapter, every word is a repetition of the same description of a group that is tolerant, urban and likes to have a good time. Frankly, I've never felt the need to write a review of a book until now, and I want my money back.
