Answer 1

The mood of the "Beat Generation" is best reflected in A. Jack Kerouac's On the Road. Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg, and Lucien Carr were "founders" of the Beat Generation, a literary and social movement following World War II during the onset of the Cold War. Many of their books dealt with the growing interconnectedness of the world, the nuclear threat of the Cold War (and the futility of the present), and resisting the conformity of the 1950s.
