The newly published book, Modern Romance, by author (and comedian) Aziz Ansari is a factual research-based book that attempts to explain how people are finding romance in this day and age of technology. He provides the element of humor that makes the charts and statistics more palatable to the reader of books, or to the listener of audiobooks. Ansari developed the idea for the book when he was performing his comedy routine about obsessing over a girl that he had called who had not yet returned his call. He imagined her phone had fallen into a volcano, or that maybe she was dead. And then, it hits you that she just doesn’t want to call back. And that is the scariest reason of all.
Ansari enlisted the professional expertise of Eric Klinenberg, a sociology professor at New York University, to provide the scientific data to serve as the base of the book. They held group discussions in several different cities in several different states, forums on social media, and consulted experts in the fields of sociology, psychology, and human behavior. The result is a book of simple facts, observations, advice, and comedy. The book answers one of today’s most asked questions…….why do millennials not answer the phone? As author Ansari surveys all the information, one statement seems to stand out……… “The main thing I’ve learned from this research is that we’re all in this together”.
The book is especially interesting on audiobook, since author Ansari is the narrator and what could be better than having the comedic parts of the book presented by a comedian. It gives a substantial reason to listen to this book rather than read it in paper form. Or, the best of both worlds……..do both!
