Publisher's Synopsis
In Compliments of Pet Milk: A Boomer's Odyssey Across the Millennium Divide, the author reflects on a life lived straddling two eras—one grounded in the simplicity of the 20th century, the other dominated by rapid technological and societal shifts. With sharp wit and poignant insight, the memoir delves into love, family, culture, and the seismic changes that reshaped the American experience.Through personal anecdotes and incisive commentary, he examines how advances in science and technology, coupled with social and environmental challenges, have altered what it means to grow up, connect, and thrive. As a generation witnesses the world it once knew vanish, the memoir poses a critical question: how can lessons from a simpler past guide a future marred by instability and disconnection?With humor and a touch of urgency, this book invites readers to confront the stakes of a rapidly evolving world—and wonder if we've lost too much to ever fully recover.
