The author chronicles his experiences growing up in middle suburban America, a culture heavily influenced by the times in which they took place. More of a self-discovery develops, and by the end, the author claims to have a better idea of his place in the world, but still unsure of how to apply it. Humorous in its storytelling, this memoir is intended for young adults similarly unsure of where they stand, and not intended as a guideline or manifesto for being an adult in America. The title is purely satirical.
