Our world is in chaos lol. And no, Australian Millennials, it’s not your imagination: things are especially f**ked for us.
Millions of Baby Boomers got beach houses, free education, jobs for life and a franking credit-fed retirement. But Millennials have been handed a housing crisis, crippling student debt, the gig economy, a cooked planet, a truly broken political system and now wars, inflation and a global pandemic, as a treat.
This fully sucks. But never fear – this book is going to fix everything. Through the power of jokes, history, interviews and sass, so-called comedian Tom Ballard unpicks how his generation got here, and explains why we should probably do a revolution.
Fact-filled and furiously funny, this is a must-read not just for young people wondering why they’ve been given such a raw deal, but for anyone with an interest in how we’re making our collective future impossible.
