Description

What has happened to our social fabric? People are lonely, there’s a deep sense of scarcity fuelled by economic stagnation and a feeling of helplessness. The Infrastructure of Belonging offers a hopeful vision for the future.

Our world is lonelier and more polarised than ever. Our lives have shrunk to the size of our screens. We’ve all been playing team sports as individuals and we’re wondering why we’re burned out, lonely and feeling a sense of impossible scarcity. This isn’t just expensive for us as individuals; it’s ineffective for the global economy.

In this incisive book, journalist and strategist Masuma Ahuja traces how we got here and what to do about it. She explores promising models for changing what comes next. And she offers a vision for how societies can rebuild the infrastructure of connection and possibility to create a healthier, happier and enriched future.
