In Disconnected: The Loneliness Crisis - How Society, Technology, and Culture are Altering Human Connection, Angel Marqués dives into the paradox of loneliness in our hyper-connected world. This thought-provoking work examines how social evolution, technological advancements, and cultural shifts have redefined what it means to connect and belong. As society has advanced, the foundations of community and family that once provided deep social bonds have gradually weakened. From the effects of industrialization to the rise of social media, Marqués explores how these shifts have left individuals-of all ages and backgrounds-feeling more isolated than ever. He provides an interdisciplinary perspective, weaving together sociology, psychology, and cultural analysis to trace the roots of our modern loneliness epidemic and its profound impact on mental and emotional well-being. Through a comparative cultural lens, Disconnected reveals how different societies-from Japan to the United States-experience and combat isolation. Marqués also addresses the unique challenges posed by the digital age, where online interactions often lack the depth and authenticity of in-person connections. Moreover, the book examines the economic and neurobiological consequences of prolonged loneliness, shedding light on how this crisis affects not only our personal lives but also our collective societal health. Inside, you'll discover: * The historical roots of social connectivity and its decline. * How individualism and urbanization have reshaped community ties. * The impact of technology and social media on genuine human interaction. * Cross-cultural perspectives on loneliness in different societies. * Insights into marginalized groups and their unique challenges. * The effects of loneliness across various life stages, from childhood to old age. * Neurobiological implications of prolonged solitude and its effects. * Economic consequences of loneliness and its extreme manifestation through suicide. * Government and health system responses to the loneliness crisis. Disconnected: The Loneliness Crisis is both a call to action and a guide for readers seeking to understand the forces behind modern isolation. Whether you're interested in sociology, mental health, or the influence of technology on our lives, this book offers an insightful journey into one of today's most urgent social challenges.
