Five Under Five Summary

Magazines regularly identify lists of "30 people under 30" to imitate. As the population ages, the trendsetters of 2015-25 must be identified. A Condé Nast research team has identified a diverse "Fab Five" to watch. These include: 1) Chelsea Jameson, likely to lead in the field of communications; 2) Michael Green (originally Hyman Yid) whose adult-like anxieties suggest that he will be either a high-powered executive or a serial killer; 3) Maggie Lynn Pratt, an eight-year-old whose father, a powerful publicist, insists that she be on the list; and 4) Cary Streisand Rent, a genetic creation of Cryotech Institute, combining genes from an MIT physicist, a Broadway lyricist, and a Persian cat. No consensus is reached on the first member, but it is likely to be an Asian or black.
