| Misspent Youth | Peter F. Hamilton's short novel Misspent Youth (2003, 439 pages) is set in the near-future, and describes the story of Jeff Baker who revolutionizes the world by inventing the ultimate method of information storage and allows free use of it with no profits going in his pocket. Because of this act, he is chosen as the candidate for the first use of rejuvenation technology which leaves him with the body of a young man. Hamilton forms a picture of a famous man with a troubled family, living in a troubled Rutland, England - also Hamilton's home county. This is very much a character driven story and focuses on the effects that Jeff's rejuvenation has on his family. (references) | ||
| Misspent Youths | Misspent Youths was an independent comic book by David Lee Ingersoll from the early 1990s, running only five issues. Reflecting a punk aesthetic even edgier at times than the Hernandez Bros.' Love and Rockets, it dealt with two homeless youth, Moe and Detritus, and their friends in a dark urban landscape filled with drugs, gangs, clubs, and music. The stories were complex, very anti-authoritarian, and the humor rich and sardonic. (references) | ||
