According to Harper-Collins Publishing, young people have had a rough go of it, from a pandemic to inflation to climate change. Another thing this generation shares is using comedy to cope. Just look at TikTok, where followers treat front-facing comedians like rockstars on the street. Meme culture is a universal phenomenon from Detroit to Dubai. And on college campuses like Yale, USC, and Northwestern, joining comedy groups is just as competitive as club sports.
Rebecca Shaw & Ben Kronengold cover these things in their new book, Naked in the Rideshare (Stories of Gross Miscalculations). This collection of comedic short stories bursts with the absurdities, contradictions and Notes App apologies that define growing up today. Their essays take a drunken cannonball into the hopes and fears of this generation.
