    The atomization of society. The process of a society breaking down into smaller, isolated units, where individuals are self-interested and self-sufficient. It can lead to a feeling of being alone even when surrounded by people.

      I was thinking about it this morning.

      Look at Beatle-mania or Spice Girl-mania.

      Today with the internet, you’ve got a million different ‘big things’ each with 100 fans.
