Best-selling author Noreena Hertz provides an eye-opening look at the epidemic of loneliness afflicting many of us, and engages Ed in a discussion about what tech’s role could be in addressing a situation that it has played no small role in creating. Her latest work, “The Lonely Century: How To Restore Human Connection in a World That’s Pulling Apart” (https://www.amazon.com/Lonely-Century-Restore-Connection-Pulling-ebook/dp/B0841NT92X/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=Noreena+Hertz&qid=1625690864&s=books&sr=1-1) serves as a lens for a provocative conversation that touches on everything from how loneliness fuels our extreme politics to sex robots - yes, sex robots.
