**A hilarious, thoughtful, and in-depth exploration of the pleasures

and perils of modern romance from Aziz Ansari, the Emmy-award
winning star of Master of None and one of this generation's sharpest
comedic voices**

In the old days, most people would find a decent person who lived
in their village or neighbourhood, and after deciding they weren't a
murderer, get married and have kids - all by the age of 22.

Now we spend years of our lives searching for our perfect soul mate
and, thanks to dating apps, mobile phones and social media, we
have more romantic options than ever before in human history. Yet
we also have to confront strange new dilemmas, such as what to
think when someone is too busy to reply to a text but has time to
post a photo of their breakfast on Instagram. And if we have so
many more options, why aren't people any less frustrated?

For years, American comedian Aziz Ansari has been aiming his
comic insight at dating and relationships, and in Modern Romance,
he teams up with award-winning sociologist Eric Klinenberg to
investigate love in the age of technology. They enlisted some of the
world's leading social scientists, conducted hundreds of interviews,
analyzed the behavioural data, and researched dating cultures from
Tokyo to Buenos Aires to New York City. The result is an
unforgettable picture of modern love, combining Ansari's irreverent
humour with cutting-edge social science.
