' Somewhere in the multiverse innumerable possibilities are collapsing into infinite different realities. Am I happier in any of them? I still don't know. The answer to that question is just one more thing that $1.2 million could never buy. ' In 2020 Alexander Hurst was 29 years old and broke living as a writer in a cramped Paris flat-share. There were murmurs that a global pandemic was coming. Financial stability seemed unattainable so far removed from his reality - the reality of the generation who came of age during the 2008 financial crisis. On a whim he poured his meagre savings into highly risky options trading. Within a year this small set of stocks was worth $1.2 million. Enough to turn his life on its head - but not in the way he had imagined as he began a slow motion descent into losing it all. In exploring Alexander's remarkable rise and fall from wealth Generation Desperation grapples with the vital questions of our age: what do class and status mean in a late-stage capitalist society? Can everyone really build the life they want? Or is there a cost to pursuing money above everything? Generation Desperation is an urgent unmissable fable for our times.
