Whereas you look out the window and everything's great and job market's best it's been in 50 years and economy's doing great and all the metrics in terms of life expectancy and health and education are all-time highs. Meanwhile, you go on Twitter and you would think that the apocalypse was happening. The book was... very much written to address that.
