Has love changed? Has finding a soulmate gotten harder? Is
online-dating safe? Does social media change the way we find love? In Modern
Romance by actor and comedian Aziz Ansari and sociologist Eric Klinenberg, all
those questions and even more are answered. Conducting multiple surveys all
around the globe, from Paris to Tokyo to the United States, the two writers
wanted to investigate if the Internet has affected romantic relationships as we
know it. Many esteemed academics also participated by adding their own
research, thus making it even more rock-solid. It is honestly such an
interesting and any questions you may have will be answered.
I have been in love with Aziz Ansari's work since he
appeared on Parks and Recreation. Ever since, I have followed all of his
comedic endeavors and 2015's Modern Romance is not an exception. Pairing up
with Eric Klinenberg, a sociologist and professor at New York University, Aziz
Ansari is able to write a hilarious but poignant portrait on modern romance and
what love really means in this contemporary day and age. I highly recommend
this to sociology, philosophy, and comedy lovers! It is an incredible book that
delivers an important message whilst adopting a humorous tone.
