The #1 New York Times Bestseller

A humorous, insightful, and in-depth exploration of the pleasures and dangers of modern romantic relationships by Aziz Ansari, the Emmy award-winning actor of Master of None and one of the sharpest comedic voices of his generation.

In the old days, most people found a good partner who lived in their neighborhood, and after determining they weren't murderers, they got married and had kids—all by the age of 22. Today, we spend years of our lives searching for the perfect partner and, thanks to dating apps, mobile phones, and social media, we have more romantic options than ever in human history. However, we also face strange new dilemmas, like what to think when someone is too busy to reply to a message but has time to post a photo of their breakfast on Instagram. And if we have so many choices, why aren't people less frustrated?

For years, American comedian Aziz Ansari has focused his comedic insight on dating and relationships, and in Modern Romance he collaborates with award-winning sociologist Eric Klinenberg to explore love in the age of technology. They gathered some of the world's leading social scientists, conducted hundreds of interviews, analyzed behavioral data, and studied dating cultures from Tokyo to Buenos Aires and New York City.

The result is an unforgettable portrait of modern love, combining Ansari's unpredictable humor with groundbreaking social science.
