12,000 miles • 100 elders • 8,534 years of stories. Millennial author and cultural anthropologist Veronica Kirin interviewed many of the last living members of the Greatest Generation who witnessed the onset of an incredible evolution of technology and social progress. From mere entertainment to life-changing advances, technology has changed the way we live, work, and identify. By chronicling more than 8,000 years of life lived during the most transitional time in American history, Stories of Elders: What the Greatest Generation Knows About Technology That You Don’t, offers old-fashioned wisdom and insight for America’s future generations. Kirin will show a short documentary including some of the interviews, as well as share insight she has gained. Stories of Elders will be available for sale. Please join us for Coffee with Friends including a reception and book signing, Sunday, September 22, 2–3:30 PM.
