Mads Larsen’s new book investigates the plummeting fertility rates and potential demographic collapse of the West. He explores the increasing levels of singledom, dating dysfunction, and sexual inactivity that defines our modern culture — and untangles the perhaps most foundational factor behind this uncoupling: our present era’s ideology of love.
