About this listen
In Generation Uncoupled, a leading researcher on American public life investigates the alarming distance between young men and women in America. Drawing on years of original research, wide-ranging interviews, and extensive public writing, Daniel Cox traces how Gen Z men and women are being pulled apart—on campus, in dating culture, and across the political spectrum. Women are more empowered, ambitious, and vocal than ever before, but more anxious about their personal autonomy and rights. Men face growing uncertainty about their roles, identity, and place in modern society. What emerges is a generation caught between rapid technological innovation, widespread cultural change and deepening mistrust.
From the fallout of the "Me Too" movement and the loneliness crisis, a transactional dating culture, online harassment, and the illusion of endless choice, Generation Uncoupled explores how young adults have come to fear each other as much as they desire connection. Cox unpacks how family life, gender roles, and romantic norms have been reshaped by an immersive digital culture, a broken politics and overstructured childhoods—and how rising social disconnection has only made things worse. Along the way, he introduces readers to the young people behind the statistics: anxious, avoidant, and often deeply alone.
But this isn’t just a story of what’s broken—it’s a call for a cultural reset. With rigor, compassion, and a refusal to take sides, Generation Uncoupled challenges political orthodoxy and media narratives alike. If we want to rebuild trust—between men and women, between left and right, and across generational lines—we must understand how we got here. This is the definitive book for anyone trying to make sense of a generation shaped by freedom, fractured by fear, and longing to connect.
