Disconnected Generations
J. L. Hart
This audiobook is narrated by a digital voice.
A darkly humorous family saga spanning over a century, Disconnected Generations follows four generations—Great-Grandfather, Grandfather, Father, and Son—as they navigate the sweeping changes of the 20th and early 21st centuries. From industrialization to World War I, the Great Depression to the digital revolution, this novel explores the absurdities of progress, the clash between tradition and modernity, and the disillusionment that comes with it.
Through biting satire, existential reflection, and moments of humor, Disconnected Generations delves into how technology, consumerism, and personal identity have reshaped society, leaving each generation grappling with a sense of isolation in an increasingly connected world.
