Synopsis
They line up in Frick Village to get on the garbage truck: the disoriented, the suicidal, the desperate, even the kid who won't look up from her cell phone. They are Generation Dementia, high school seniors who have lost their bearings. When a video made about the troubled teens on the garbage truck goes viral, the reality TV crews come around to repackage Generation Dementia and the trash they haul. Narrator Hash O'Connell rebels against this makeover and soon finds he and his friends are confronted with a darker underside of both his community and the cameras now framing it. Hash unearths disturbing secrets about twenty years of lost trash and the lurid tales buried with that refuse. Ultimately, Hash encounters the corruptions off Frick's past, revelations that will transform his understanding of his family's legacy and allow him to emerge from the rubble he has inherited.

From the Author
I have spent a fair share of time with garbage. I have also witnessed teenagers sitting in a circle, ignoring each other, texting madly on the phone. Generation Dementia joins these two experiences. When the narrator Hash finds 5 1/4-inch floppy disks on the curb of the recently deceased Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Levon Gallagher, he understands that the stories on the disks might well reveal much not only about the technologies of the past forty years, but about his own family. Ultimately, much is buried in the garbage dumps and even more is floating up in the virtual clouds. I had great fun novel writing the novel.
