Valentina Vapaux: "Generation Z"

"Generation Z" by booktoker Valentina Vapaux is a differentiated examination of current youth culture. What influence do influencers have, to what extent does social media shape and reinforce classic gender roles, what does the online world driven by the advertising industry really look like and how political are the Z's? It also analyzes how dating apps are changing the love and relationships of this generation and why Generation Z is seen as the "loneliest" generation.

The topics are intended to draw young readers' attention to socially relevant issues and encourage them to rethink their own, generation-typical behavior patterns and consumer behavior.
