Elsewhere, U.S.A.

Elsewhere, U.S.A.: How We Got from the Company Man, Family Dinners, and the Affluent Society to the Home Office, BlackBerry Moms, and Economic Anxiety Elsewhere, U.S.A.: How We Got from the Company Man, Family Dinners, and the Affluent Society to the Home Office, BlackBerry Moms, and Economic Anxiety by Dalton Conley


My review


rating: 3 of 5 stars
I was expecting Elsewhere, U.S.A. to be a diatribe railing against the modern world's tendency towards cell phones, virtual networking, and the shift away from "traditional" family mealtimes and the like. Instead, it was an even-handed look at the forces that have caused this shift and what it means for our country. Well-written and interesting.
