Craft beer, vinyl, trendy trainers, vintage bikes: it's not a midlife crisis, it's a state of mind

Are you a man of a certain age who feels more at home at Indie Night than Parents' Evening? Do you firmly believe you have much better taste in films and fashion than your kids? Is your kitchen packed with indispensable kit that's never been used? Does your cycling club always come before family day trips? Is your vintage campervan an extension of your personality?

If the answers are yes, congratulations: you're an Ultra-Modern Dad - and you are not alone.

This book will reveal how to be the alpha papa of everything from baby names to video games. It will explain why most Ultra-Modern Dads are frustrated rock stars, undiscovered celebrity chefs and would-be professional sportsmen. It will crack the UMD dress code - where heritage workwear meets expanding waistlines - as well as offering essential insights for eye-rolling other-halves and cringing offspring, and showing how the hell to live with one.
