Book Description
About The Book

A Swedish teenager, Greta Thunberg, has become the poster girl for the climate change and sustainability movement across the world. Only 16 years old, she has been nominated for the Nobel Prize and has featured on the cover of the Time magazine. Greta personifies and symbolizes zeners, who are unique, world changers and perhaps the only hope for this planet. Yet, if not nurtured, they are at risk of being lost due to the ignorance of institutions and individuals.

The Life of Z packs extensive real-life narratives and analysis to help us understand this generation born in the year 2000 and after, and to engage with them for a better future for all of us.

Preface

Aradio buzzing in a corner, the transmission was unclear, the signal seemed to be wavering. I adjusted the antennae that we had fixed near the roof of the room. The voice on the side became better. By that time, I had repeated this ritual several times. However, the cracking commentary of the cricket match on the other side made up for all the hard work and irritation. Both my younger brother and I were stuck with the radio for the whole day. Our parents were not at home. My mother wanted to call our grandma and therefore she went to the post office to book a trunk call. It took few hours of waiting before her turn came and she could speak over the government-run public landline phone before returning home. We had the whole day to ourselves. It took longer than expected for our parents to come back home. They could not find a taxi near the post office and had to walk for nearly a kilome- tre before they found a transport. Poor mom, she had to cook the dinner after a long day. Meanwhile, India had lost the match. We spent the whole evening helping our mom in the kitchen. Another uneventful day had come to an end. But we had some excitement coming up. Sunday was just a day away when we would catch another episode of Star Trek and by that time we should also be getting a letter from my cousin brother who was sharing our secret encryption code, as he had promised in his last letter. This was to prevent elders from finding out the contents of our letter. And yes, he was also sending some photos from his recent vacation.
