About this audiobook
Wartime Russia is drowning in fascist symbols. Zealous patriots attack journalists, opposition activists, and anyone suspected of betraying the motherland. Russians are urged to join the cause by hordes of online trolls and sleek videos of angry young men bellowing patriotic slogans. State television terrifies viewers with trumped up tales of anti-Russian conspiracies and genocidal yearnings. Child soldiers proudly parade across Red Square. This is Russia in the 2020s: a land of performative rage and nationalist untruth, where play-acting, pretense, and broken promises are a way of life. But in a world where pretense has become the norm, a terrifying, apocalyptic mindset is seizing the Russians of tomorrow.
As enrapturing as it is terrifying, Z Generation reveals how Russia ended up where it is today, and where its young people are headed: a fascist generation more zealous, violent, and ideological than anything the country has seen before.

Ian M. Garner has been fascinated by Land Rovers from an early age, when his father bought a very early Series III to tow the family caravan, and he can still recall the excitement felt on seeing the vehicle for the first time. Over the years he has read everything he could get his hands on about Land Rovers in a quest to satisfying his unquenchable thirst for knowledge. As soon as he could, he bought his first Land Rover, a Freelander, which was quickly followed by a Ninety, then his first Series IIA. He currently owns five Land Rovers – a 1967 109in Series IIA Camper, a 1968 88in Station Wagon, a 1971 Series IIA 88in Soft top, a 1974 Range Rover classic fitted with a Series III Stage 1 pick-up body and a 2020 Defender D240. Ian is the Land Rover Series 123 Club area representative for Yorkshire, where he lives close to many of Yorkshire’s fine green lanes, which he drives regularly. This book is the culmination of years of research, which started with a childhood love that remains to this day.
