BOOMSDAY'S heroine is Cassandra Devine, a charismatic
29-year-old blogger who incites massive political turmoil
when, outraged over mounting Social Security debt, she
politely suggests that Baby Boomers be given government
incentives to kill themselves by age 75. Her modest proposal
catches fire with millions of her outraged peers
("Generation Whatever") and an ambitious Senator seeking to
gain the youth vote in his presidential campaign. With
the help of Washington's greatest spin doctor, the blogger
and the politician try to ride the issue of euthanasia for
Boomers (they call it "Transitioning") all the way to the
White House, over the forceful objections of the Religious
Right and, of course, Baby Boomers, who are deeply offended
by demonstrations on the golf courses of their retirement
resorts.
