Author Description

With too much material having to be cut back from "The Middle Age", author and musician Ren Cummins did what any self-respecting creator would do: a sequel.Following in the steps of its predecessor, The Middle Age 2 continues to explore the process of a Geek's attempts at growing up (and on occasion, growing old) in modern 21st century America. After a childhood sustained by such nutrients as Star Wars, Dungeons and Dragons and Zork, and teen years feeding on Journey and Duran Duran, the specific outcome might have been uncertain, but it is described here in equal parts affectionate reminscence and scathingly passionate criticisms of a nation gone...cranky.Addressing topics ranging from the publishing world to politics and theme parks, Ren once more tackles the challenges inherent to being an adult in today's youth-centric culture, while trying to keep that spark of youthful idealism which sometimes seems so very rare.
