XYZ - Tales for an Accelerated Culture is a selection of diptych photographs by photographer Patrick Strattner. Using the 1991 Douglas Coupland novel Generation X - Tales for an Accelerated Culture as his inspiration, Patrick travelled to the Palm Springs area for two months to take stock, and photograph the next generation of youth living in Palm Springs. Patrick writes that

We hope you will enjoy this excerpt from this facinating and well-executed project.
