America stands at a precipice; limitless consumption, reckless economics, and disregard for the environment have put the country on a collision course with disaster. It's up to a younger generation to rebuild according to new forms of organization, and Share or Die is a collection of messages from the front lines. From urban Detroit to central Amsterdam, and from workers co-operatives to nomadic communities, an astonishing variety of recent graduates and 20-something experimenters are finding (and sharing) their own answers to negotiating the new economic order. Their visions of a shared future include: Collaborative consumption networks instead of private ownership Replacing the corporate ladder with a lattice lifestyle Do-it-yourself higher education.As a call-to-action, share or die doesn't refer only to resource depletion, disappearing jobs or stagnating wages. It refers to social death too, and to finding the common sense ideas and practices needed not only to merely survive, but to build a place where it's worth living. A series of forays into uncharted territory, this graphically-rich collection of essays, narratives and how-tos is an intimate guide to the new economic order and a must-read for anyone attempting to understand what it means to live as part of Generation Y.
