Generations: The History of America’s Future, 1584 to 2069 is a nonfiction history and social theory book by Neil Howe and William Strauss that argues American history follows recurring generational cycles. Published in 1991, it presents a broad interpretation of the past by tracing how cohorts formed in similar eras develop shared attitudes that later shape public life, institutions, and crisis responses. The book is best known for introducing the Strauss-Howe generational framework, which divides history into four repeating turnings: High, Awakening, Unraveling, and Crisis. It also describes four recurring generational archetypes: Prophet, Nomad, Hero, and Artist. Rather than treating generations as simple age groups, the authors use them as a way to explain long-term cultural and political change across centuries. The result is a provocative synthesis of American history, sociology, and forecasting that has influenced popular discussion of generations while also drawing criticism for its deterministic approach.
