Modern Romance - Thryft

Hilarious dissection of contemporary dating conundrums.

If you've ever found yourself baffled by today's dating scene, with its emojis, ghosting, and swiping, Aziz Ansari's "Modern Romance" will be a relatable and insightful read. His sharp humor cuts right through the complexities of modern love, making sense of how dating has evolved while still leaving you laughing. It's like having a chat with a witty friend who's read up on all the social studies about romance. This book might just make your next romantic text exchange a little less perplexing.

Description

A hilarious, thoughtful, and in-depth exploration of the pleasures and perils of modern romance from Aziz Ansari, the star of Master of None and one of this generation’s sharpest comedic voices. At some point, every one of us embarks on a journey to find love. We meet people, date, get into and out of relationships, all with the hope of finding someone with whom we share a deep connection. This seems standard now, but it’s wildly different from what people did even just decades ago. Single people today have more romantic options than at any point in human history. With technology, our abilities to connect with and sort through these options are staggering. So why are so many people frustrated? Some of our problems are unique to our time. But the transformation of our romantic lives can’t be explained by technology alone. In a short period of time, the whole culture of finding love has changed dramatically. For years, Aziz Ansari has been aiming his comic insight at modern romance, but for Modern Romance, the book, he decided he needed to take things to another level. The result is unlike any social science or humor book we’ve seen before. In Modern Romance, Ansari combines his irreverent humor with cutting-edge social science to give us an unforgettable tour of our new romantic world.
