Description
The Lonely Century: A Decade of Research on Loneliness in the 21st Century In a world where technology and social change are increasingly isolating us, Noreena Hertz offers a hopeful vision for healing our fractured communities. Combining a decade of research with first-hand reporting, Hertz explores the effects of our increasing dependence on technology, radical changes to the workplace, and decades of policies that have prioritised self-interest over the collective good. From university students struggling to communicate in person to nursing home residents knitting bonnets for their robot caregivers, Hertz reveals the human impact of these trends. With bold solutions for individuals, businesses, and governments, she offers a powerful call to action for building stronger, more connected communities. A timely and urgent exploration of loneliness in the 21st century, The Lonely Century is a worthwhile read for anyone concerned about the future of our society.
