From renowned financial and technology journalist Nathaniel Popper
the dramatic story of a new generation of financial
strivers, living online and playing the stock and crypto markets by
a new set of rules. Following a cast of young, all male characters,
who went from the fringes of the internet to the front pages of
newspapers, The Degenerate Generation tells the tale of how social
media, crypto and startups like Robinhood and Reddit allowed for
the formation of a powerful online movement in which the most
unlikely participants took on the old guard—and each
other.  In The Degenerate Generation, journalist
Nathaniel Popper charts the evolution from the idealism of Occupy
Wall Street in 2011 to the anarchic chaos of online outrage leading
to the market crash of 2022. Showing how a combination of new
technology and broader cultural and economic forces created an
online revolution led by bands of predominantly young men, who
gathered on Reddit and proudly referred to themselves as
“degenerates.” This unlikely online gang took their
frustration at the current economic system and social climate and
created a powerful cultural movement that upended global financial
markets and set in motion far reaching changes to how money flows
through the economy—all of this just a decade after a financial
crisis that most people assumed would forever kill interest in the
stock markets. A character driven, human story of kids who made and
lost millions, battled with each and with Wall Street for power,
and ultimately upended the economy, The Degenerate Generation is a
fast moving, suspenseful, and sobering account of how millions of
young Americans became obsessed with money and the markets and how
that has affected politics, popular culture, finance and more.
