Bill Strauss RIP
William Strauss died today. You wouldn't really know it from reading his obituary, but, Strauss was one of the foremost theorists about the influence of generations in America, and one of the early predictors of the rise, influence, and progressivism of the Millennial Generation.
With co-author Neil Howe, he wrote "Generations" (1991), "13th Gen" (1993), "The Fourth Turning: An American Prophecy" (1998), "Millennials Rising" (1999), "Millennials Go to College" (2003) and "Millennials and the Pop Culture" (2005).
His book Millennials Rising was a big influence on my own book and my blogging, though I was never fully convinced by his arguments about Millennials and pop culture trends. I've been hearing more about him from folks today, and apparently he was even more influential that I realized. It's a sad loss.

very sad
Definitely some of the most important work on generational theory was his. I was a fan as well.
