David Brooks: Bobos in Paradise

Paperback: 284 pages
Publisher: Simon & Schuster 2000

Funny and intelligent "comic sociology" study of the bohemian bourgeois. Most of the chapters are - even if it's been over ten years since publication - surprisingly relevant.

"In this new era you need to use the phrase 'We're moving from an age in which...' a lot. After all, we are moving from a power society to a knowledge society, from a linear society to a postlinear society, from a hierarchical sciety to a networked society, from a skim milk society to a 2-percent-fat milk society." p. 116
