The New Twenty paints the portrait of a generation living the highs and lows of a Wall Street world destined to disappear overnight.

puts it, a touch of existential malaise courtesy of late capitalism. You know, the
usual. So if money isn t the root of their discontent, what is? Whatever they re
searching for - love, meaning in work - they won t find it in each other. On TV,
friendship lasts forever. In real life, not so muc
