Michel Serres (1930–2019)

Firstly, I'm a little surprised how much I appreciated Serres not uttering the word "millenial" and taking the "these crazy kids today" approach. While reading this, I noticed how much I do this myself, not accepting that the "crazy kids" of a few years back are now bona fide adults and actually the core of the very near future society and that they may not be exactly the same as the current core of society.

These kinds of examples echo throughout the book. I might be wrong, but to me it seems that Serres does not only expect the new generation to be different, but better compared to their ancestors.
