Aziz Ansari writes comic and sociological non-fiction about dating, technology and modern relationships. Modern Romance, written with sociologist Eric Klinenberg, combines interviews, focus groups and social research with Ansari's comedy to examine texting, online dating, choice and how relationship expectations have changed across generations. The book is less a memoir than a popular social-science survey shaped by a comedian's voice. Ansari has also published material connected to his stand-up work, but Modern Romance is the main book-length entry point. His prose is conversational, joke-heavy and accessible, fitting dating culture, popular sociology and relationship non-fiction rather than traditional self-help. Modern Romance is best read as popular sociology shaped by comic commentary rather than dating advice. Read more Less
