Beyond body glitter and Total Request Live: How the Y2K era changed America
Manage episode 469470574 series 2857709
The year 2000 ushered in an era of shiny newness – from metallic clothing and furniture to a computer evolution turned tech revolution – alongside generation-defining events: a housing and financial crisis, 9/11 and early public recognition of climate change. Author Colette Shade argues the socio-cultural shifts ushered in during the early 2000s remain significant today in her debut book, “Y2K: How the 2000s Became Everything (Essays on the Future That Never Was.)” It’s our March selection for Bookmarked: the “Under the Radar” book club.
