Who Were the 2010s?

As the decade began, there were reasons to be optimistic: America had elected its first black president, and the world hadn’t cascaded into total financial collapse. Obamacare, for all its flaws, was passed, and then came the Iran deal and the Paris climate accords. Sure, there were danger signs: the anger of the tea party, the slow hollowing out of legacy news media, a troubling sense that somehow the bankers got away with it. But then maybe the immediacy of social media gave some hope, at least if you listened to the chatter of the bright young kids in the Bay Area trying to build a new kind of unmediated citizenship. Maybe everyday celebrity, post-gatekeeper, would change the world for the better. Some of that happened. But we also ended up with the alt-right and Donald Trump, inequality, impeachment, and debilitating fomo. How did we get here? Throughout the past weeks, we had long talks over multiple sessions with six people who helped shape the decade—and were shaped by it—to hear what they’ve learned.
