Especially timely given our polarized world, \u003ci\u003eChasing We-ness \u003c\/i\u003eexamines how social media, AI, new leadership styles, and other modern developments affect our state of we-ness. It illuminates how our contemporary identities find expression in both progressive and conservative social movements that foster a sense of we-ness.
