"Gen X never pictured the future as sleek or easy. It imagined something patchworked together from old instincts and new machines, from freedom mixed with suspicion, from convenience laced with tradeoffs."
"Ipsos says Gen X already holds significant power in politics, business, and family life. NielsenIQ and World Data Lab estimate it will drive $15.2 trillion in global spending in 2025."
"The future did not arrive polished. It came in humming, glitching, updating, and asking for one more password, and Gen X had already spent half a lifetime learning how to deal with exactly that kind of world."
