Share or Die Book Reviews

Share or Die by Malcolm Harris & Neal Gorenflo Book Summary

Essays from Generation Y, or Millennials, around the globe on what it’s like for them to try to make it in the real world after graduation.

America stands at a precipice; limitless consumption, reckless economics, and disregard for the environment have put the country on a collision course with disaster. It’s up to a younger generation to rebuild according to new forms of organization, and Share or Die is a collection of messages from the front lines.

From urban Detroit to central Amsterdam, and from worker co-operatives to nomadic communities, an astonishing variety of recent graduates and twenty-something experimenters are finding (and sharing) their own answers to negotiating the new economic order. Their visions of a shared future include:

·      Collaborative consumption networks instead of private ownership
·      Replacing the corporate ladder with a “lattice lifestyle”
·      Do-it-yourself higher education

As a call-to-action, “share or die” doesn’t only refer to resource depletion, disappearing jobs, or stagnating wages. It refers to social death too, and to finding the commonsense ideas and practices needed to not only merely survive, but also to build a place where it’s worth living. A series of forays into uncharted territory, this graphically rich collection of essays, narratives, and how-tos is an intimate guide to the new economic order and a must-read for anyone attempting to understand what it means to live as part of Generation Y.

“If you know someone who dreams of something bigger than being part of the rat race, please give them this book.” —Raj Patel, author of The Value of Nothing
