Description

The digital revolution was one of the best things to happen to Shaun Carney because it ended his career. When he took a redundancy from his job as associate editor and political writer with The Age, he had to stop to consider whether a 55-year old man still had any value. What had he done with his life? Had he made the most of his opportunities? This is a tour through suburban Australian life, journalism, politics and the burdens of family expectations.
