America entered the technological age through the darkness of WWII and its aftermath. Science fiction and plays became widespread through popular culture and mass media, with Ray Bradbury, James Thurber and Tennessee Williams leading the way. Though alcoholism, broken families, personal, political and wartime trauma would weigh on the authors of this era, classic works such as "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof," "The Martian Chronicles," and "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" still stand to show the undying talent and fortitude of their authors.

If the lost generation authors were searching for identity and meaning, the group of authors in this program rejected everything about mainstream America. Jack Kerouac, William Burroughs and Allen Ginsburg, among many others, wrote to rebel against the unrealistic expectations of American culture to hold people to defined, cookie-cutter molds. Ultimately, their works would speak to the baby boomer generation, on topics of being "beat down by establishment (the beat generation)," racism and segregation, homosexuality, drug use and individualism. America rattled as nuclear power, rock and roll, youth culture, civil rights and mass media reinvented the idea of being an American.
