We may all envy youth, but society is giving young people an increasingly rough ride. Ross Perlin’s Intern Nation is a myth-busting exposé of the murky world of unpaid work, a witty yet serious investigation of internships that, on its release at the end of May, is even more topical than its author could have dreamed of. In Jilted Generation, Ed Howker & Shiv Malik show that internship is merely one aspect of how Britain truly is broken if you were born after 1979. In stark contrast to their parents’ generation, millions of young Britons today face the most uncertain future since the early 1930s.
