About this listen

Modern dating was supposed to make connection easier. Instead, it has left many people exhausted, detached, and questioning whether intimacy still works the way it used to.

A Society of Sociopaths explores how online dating, social media, and attention-driven platforms have quietly reshaped empathy, commitment, and emotional accountability. Blending psychology, sociology, neuroscience, and lived experience, this book examines ghosting, choice overload, emotional labour, sexual disconnection, and the slow erosion of trust in a culture built on endless options.

This is not a rant and not a self-help guide. It is a calm, evidence-based look at why modern relationships feel harder to sustain, why monogamy now feels radical, and how technology rewards detachment while punishing vulnerability.

Clear, reflective, and grounded in research, this audiobook is for listeners who want to understand dating culture without blame, defensiveness, or clichés, and who suspect that the problem isn’t personal failure, but the systems shaping modern intimacy.
