"Cassandra Devine, a charismatic 29-year-old blogger and member of Generation Whatever, is outraged over the excesses of the Baby Boomer generation and their negligent handling of the mounting Social Security debt. When she politely suggests that Baby Boomers be given government incentives to kill themselves by the age of seventy-five, it catches the imagination of millions of outraged citizens, including an ambitious senator who sees this as his ticket to becoming President. With the help of Washington's greatest spin doctor, the blogger and the politician try to ride the issue of euthanasia for Boomers all the way to the White House, over the objections of the Religious Right and, of course, the Boomers themselves, who are deeply offended by demonstrations on the golf courses of their retirement resorts."

"Buckley paints a scenario of bloggers setting the national agenda, and the havoc that might ensue. As baby boomers begin retiring, economic disaster is forecast. Cassandra, a twenty-nine year old public relations person, blogs at night about the impending disaster. She calls for her readers to bring about "an economic Bastille Day". In response, her followers take to destroying golf courses in protest. She makes all the headlines, and government officials worry about what she might blog next. What is Cassandra's ultimate solution to the Social Security problem? She proposes that senior citizens (i.e. baby boomers), kill themselves in exchange for tax breaks."@en
