Childhood is Extinct

Childhood is Extinct is a searing cultural investigation into how we’ve engineered the disappearance of childhood in America. From the death of free play to the rise of screen addiction, surveillance parenting, and identity-based mental health trends, this book confronts how society has smothered imagination, risk, and wonder in the name of safety and success. Blunt, researched, and deeply human, it’s a call to stop managing childhood—and start protecting it.
