Aimless Generation (Unabridged‪)‬

Aimless Generation examines the social and cultural ambivalence of New York City in the digital age. It explores how technology has enabled a lost generation of Americans to indulge in vices, mainly sex, drugs, and alcohol. It is told over the 2019 calendar year, with a raw depiction of travel during a spiral of addiction, boredom, and depravity.

Hamilton West Jr.’s voice is crude, direct, dark, yet humorous and heartbreaking. His clear prose is marked by his moral entropy and his iconoclastic contempt for religion, materialism, capitalism, politics, and mainstream responsibility.

Aimless Generation is a memoir of both confession and critique, perfect for fans of Jack Kerouac, Charles Bukowski, and J.D. Salinger.
