In an age of extreme individualism and endless choice, what has become of love? Why does it seem harder than ever to connect, to feel deeply, and to make it last? With sharp wit and insightful analysis, cartoonist Liv Strömquist embarks on a graphic investigation into the heart of modern romance. Using Leonardo DiCaprio's dating life as a starting point, she dissects how the logic of late-stage capitalism has infiltrated our most intimate relationships, turning emotion into a commodity and partners into projects.

This book is a thoroughly researched and humorously illustrated essay that questions the very nature of love today. Strömquist draws on a wide array of sources, from Beyoncé and Plato to sociologists and reality TV contestants, to explore why we are becoming emotionally detached in a world that is more connected than ever. It is an exploration of passion, vulnerability, and the struggle to truly see another person in a culture of self-optimization. The result is a compelling analysis that will make you reflect on your own experiences with love and the powerful social forces that shape them.
