"Growing Up Absurd" is a sociopolitical critique that explores the struggles of growing up in a society where the traditional routes to manhood – work, family, and citizenship – are increasingly invalidated. The author argues that this societal structure leads to widespread disaffection, mental illness, and juvenile delinquency among young people. He offers a profound analysis of contemporary culture and its effects on youth, also providing suggestions for societal change to address these issues. The 2847th greatest book of all time
