Description
Y2K: How the 2000s Became Everything A darkly funny exploration of the early 2000s and its lasting impact on our world. The dawn of the new millennium brought promises of prosperity, but instead, history kept happening. Twenty-five years after the Y2K celebrations, Colette Shade offers a searing critique of the decade that started with a boom and ended with a crash. Through close readings of pop culture, politics, and technology, Shade reveals how this era shaped our world. From the rise of low-rise jeans to the collapse of the housing market, Shade's essays offer a biting commentary on the Y2K Era. With wit and insight, she unpacks the cultural and economic forces that defined this pivotal moment in history.
