Killer Whale Theory: Modern Romance, Matriarchs, and the Society We Were Meant to Be (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798276985589)

Why do we feel so alone when we're more connected than ever? Why does "The One" so often buckle under the pressure?

The standard answer is that we are broken. We just need to try harder. This is a lie.

In her provocative debut, Killer Whale Theory, Ami N. Kim suggests that our feelings of anxiety and loneliness are not a disorder, but a rational biological response to an unnatural habitat. We are trying to run ancient, tribe-seeking software on the faulty hardware of the isolated nuclear family. The system is crashing.

The solution is not to "fix" ourselves, but to fix our design. And the inspiration isn't in self-help or science fiction-it's in the matriarchal pods of killer whales, nature's most successful ancient societies.
