"Who says Generation Next have nothing to offer Australian intellectual life? In Adult Themes Kate Crawford provides an illuminating take on the myths that surround adulthood, and why young people are changing the way we think about traditional social structures. This topical, engaging book will be of interest to thinking people of all ages."
Mark Davis, author of Gangland
"An extraordinary, thought provoking book that every politician, journalist, media commentator, and anybody else prone to using clichés like ?kidult? or ?adultescent?, should read. Throw those terms in the bin. Perfectly timed, Adult Themes is an extremely important book and Kate Crawford?s engaging writing and intelligent arguments will inspire."
