Thanks for mentioning it. Definitely put on the (ever growing) book list.
This really is a sad irony of western civilization. Western civilization is supposed to be the pinnacle of living, at least according to Manifest Destinyists. It is supposed to make us happier, make us healthier, help us live more fulfilling lives. Though in reality, all this stress, work, and lonliness is doing is slowly killing us. Sempu, I highly recommend you watch a movie called "What a Way to Go: Life at the End of Empire." It talks about how the trials of modern humanity run deeper than we think, that we face an existential crisis just as much as an environmental crisis. Aurora told me about it, and I loved it.

We're the middle children of history, man. No purpose or place. We have no Great War. No Great Depression. Our Great War's a spiritual war... our Great Depression is our lives.
