About this title

Synopsis

"Vodka, fast cars and movies--that you could sell. Insurance. For what?" It's not Armageddon. There are no meteorites. No evil aliens. No warfare of any kind. But no one is being born. What would the world be like if people could not have babies anymore? Just what would the last generation... do? Feel how it is being part of... The Last Generation. It's not the end of the world, just the end of us.

About the Author

Steffan Postaer is Chief Creative Officer at LBWorks, a Leo Burnett company. A copywriter by trade, he is perhaps best known for his provocative work on behalf of Altoids, the "Curiously Strong Mints." While he has accumulated numerous industry awards for this campaign (including a "Gold Lion" at Cannes and the prestigious "Kelly" award for best print campaign in North America), the author recognizes it is merely advertising.

Other moments in his career include co-authoring the infamous "Not Your Father�s Oldsmobile" campaign for General Motors and penning a 60-second commercial for Heinz catsup wherein a teen-aged Matt LaBlanc plants and catches the slow pouring hero product from atop a New York brownstone.

He is a desired speaker and has traveled all over the world giving diverse and often provocative talks related to his profession. Understandably, a favorite topic is the "Untold Story Behind the Scenes of Altoids."

A creative writing and film major at the University of Wisconsin, Madison, he wrote for both the right and left-wing campus newspapers and was Features Editor for the "Mad City Music Mirror."

A writer of numerous short stories, he has won honorable mentions and later First Place in the national competition of "New Voices in American Fiction."

"The Last Generation" is the first of three novels he has written to be published.

Ironically, given the story, he has three children.

Steffan, his wife Susan, and the girls live in downtown Chicago, the city where he was born.

Store Description

With 3 stores less than 1 hour outside the DC/Metropolitan area (1 in Gaithersburg, 1 in Frederick and 1 in Hagerstown, MD), we have the largest selection of books in the tri-state area. Wonder Book and Video has been in business since 1980 and online since 1997. We have over 1 Million books for sale on our website and another 1 Million books for sale in our 3 locations. Items on Abe are not necessarily in stock at our retail locations. Please do not call the stores to place orders for Abe Books sales. We have a very active online inventory and as such, we can receive multiple orders for the same item. We fill those orders on a first come first serve basis, but will refund promptly any items that are out of stock. Since 1980 it has always been about the books. ALL kinds of books from 95 cent children's paperbacks to five figure rare and collectibles. A merging of the old and new is where we started, and it is where we are today. Our retail stores have always been places where a reader can rush in looking for a title needed for a term paper that is due the next day, or where bibliophiles can get lost "in the stacks" for as long as they wish. In 2002 USAToday recognized us as "1 of 10 Great Old Bookstores", and we have been featured in numerous other newspaper and TV stories including Washington Post and CSpan. Members ABAA, ILAB.
