X Saves the World: How Generation X Got the Shaft and Can Still Keep Everything from Sucking (Viking) is Details editor and journalist Jeff Gordinier's praisesong to the generation that came of age in the early to mid-1990s. "When future archeologists recover the artifacts from our failed civilization, may they at least find some reference to the forgotten sliver of a generation chronicled here, who dared to consider—even just consider—whether doing something other than selling out was a viable option." - Douglas Rushkoff. "I loved this book ... it's impassioned, very quick on its feet, dense with all the right allusions, funny, and in the end, actually very moving." - Nick Hornby.
