Psychology · Society

Disconnection did not arrive all at once.
This book maps the collapse of community and belonging, the loneliness epidemic and the social conditions that make cruelty easier.
It looks at online behaviour, polarisation and tribalism as psychological phenomena rather than merely bad manners or bad politics.
And it asks what genuine connection requires in a world increasingly organised to keep people adjacent but apart.
The psychology of what happened between us.
From loneliness to tribes to the possibility of connection.
The final Strangers book moves outward, from the individual and the people in charge to the social world we all help create.
Community
What changes when the ordinary structures of belonging weaken.
Loneliness
Why isolation is more than a private feeling and how it reshapes behaviour.
Online life
How distance, performance and attention alter the way people treat one another.
Polarisation
The psychological pull of camps, certainty and belonging.
Cruelty
Why ordinary people can become harsher when the social conditions reward it.
Connection
What rebuilding genuine human contact asks of us now.
The first 20 pages.
