Still, I’m not sure that anything I’ve found is more galling than the revelation that young people spend 70 percent less time partying today than they did 20 years ago, or that Americans in general have taken half their social calendar and set it on fire since the turn of the century.
There has been a lot of writing lately on some of what Thompson is discussing here, but I have struggled to find a phrase that really gets at the thing being described. I think anti-social century is a really good candidate.
