I'm about to read it, it is about how our generation and particularly the YGen is changing the world a different way as our fathers did, because we are self-organized and don't belive in pyramidal organisations. The cover goes like that : "They don't vote, they don't study they don't work but they are changing the world" And the chapters are the fllowing: " 1. Do not obey 2. do not vote 3. do not make laws 4. do not study 5. do not promise 6. do not demonstrate 7. do not complicate 8. do not work 9. do not rationalize 10. do not believe 11. do not die 12. do not provoque There is a french author, Thierry Crouzet (for the french speekers), who wrote a book, called ‘le peuple des conneceurs’ “the connector people”.

I am sure having seen our parents being fired by big companies have structured our relation to employment. I also think gen Y is the first generation that can pretend being efficient without following traditional working codes, because they know their values, they do not feel isolated thanks to social media.
