iGen is a 2017 nonfiction book by Jean Twenge that studies the lifestyles, habits and values of Americans born 1995–2012, the first generation to reach adolescence after smartphones became widespread. Twenge refers to this generation as the "iGeneration" (also known as Generation Z). Although she argues there are some positive trends, she expresses concern that the generation is being isolated by technology.
