   Selected as an Amazon \"Best\" New Media Study launch, my self-published ebook\"Rise of the SmartPower Class\" was an early look at the intersection of emerging technology and trends within popular culture. I updated it a few years after to zero in solely on 18-24 year-olds and entitled it \"America\'s Most Wanted\" and was one of the first to document a minimum of 4 sub-demographics of this powerful category and examine the impact of mindset, emerging tech, what\'s cool, what\'s not.
