Sinossi

Stories of the Greatest Generation come alive in the hands of longtime local journalist Adrian O'Connor What made the D-Day attack on Omaha Beach so remarkable was that it was carried out largely out by National Guardsman - men of the 29th Infantry Division who had never before seen combat. One of the companies that was part of this historic day hailed from the environs of Winchester, Virginia. Winchester's martial gallantry was hardly restricted to the beaches of Normandy, though. A future city councilor came ashore at Anzio, Italy. A future school principal fought in what may have been the Pacific's toughest battle, Iwo Jima. Local men held the line at the climactic Battle of the Bulge, flew over Europe and the oil fields of Ploesti and even escaped a German prisoner-of-war camp.

    In today’s world, our perception fundamentally shapes our reality. This explains why two people can have entirely different interpretations of the same event. The meaning we assign to events stems from our beliefs and emotions. So, can altering our perception actually change our world? If so, how can this be achieved? And if it's possible, how can we mold our reality to create a better one? 
      
    What we see defines what we believe, and what we believe dictates what we consider true. Our sense of truth then becomes our reality. Thus, our perception molds our reality. Although we share the same world, we each focus on our own perceived truths. Even though everyone has eyes, each person views the world in a unique way. It’s easy to find what we’re looking for, but harder to notice what we’re not searching for. For example, one person might see a glass as half-full while another sees it as half-empty. 
      
    “A pessimist sees the trouble in every opportunity; an optimist sees the chance in every trouble.” 
      
    Perception Is Relative 
      
    There are numerous examples of how perception influences our reality. When we buy a new white car, we suddenly notice that color and model everywhere. If we like or dislike a song, it seems to play frequently. When someone points out a particular mannerism or nervous tic in another person, it seems to become more noticeable afterward.

    Y2K - How the 2000s Became...

    “Nothing I’ve read has cut to the heart of the ’00s like Y2K.” — Bustle 
    Perfect for fans of Jia Tolentino and Chuck Klosterman, Y2K is a delightfully nostalgic and bitingly told exploration about how the early 2000s forever changed us and the world we live in. 
    THE EARLY 2000s conjures images of inflatable furniture, flip phones, and low-rise jeans. It was a new millennium and the future looked bright, promising prosperity for all. The internet had arrived, and technology was shiny and fun. For many, it felt like the end of history: no more wars, racism, or sexism. But then history kept happening. Twenty-five years after the ball dropped on December 31st, 1999, we are still living in the shadows of the Y2K Era. 
    In Y2K, one of our most brilliant young critics Colette Shade offers a darkly funny meditation on everything from the pop culture to the political economy of the period. By close reading Y2K artifacts like the Hummer H2, Smash Mouth’s “All Star,” body glitter, AOL chatrooms, Total Request Live, and early internet porn, Shade produces an affectionate yet searing critique of a decade that started with a boom and ended with a crash. 
    In one essay Colette unpacks how hearing Ludacris’s hit song “What’s Your Fantasy” shaped a generation’s sexual awakening; in another she interrogates how her eating disorder developed as rail-thin models from the collapsed USSR flooded the pages of Vogue; in another she reveals how the McMansion became an ominous symbol of the housing collapse. 
    Perfect for fans of Jia Tolentino and Chuck Klosterman, Y2K is the first book to fully reckon with the mixed legacy of the Y2K Era—a perfectly timed collection that holds a startling mirror to our past, present, and future.
