A troubling trend of social isolation is afflicting young adults globally.

In Japan, social withdrawal among young men is so severe that the Japanese have a specific term for it: hikikomori.

In the U.S., as in Japan, young men are retreating en masse.

In Japan, extreme recluses have carried out some rather brutal attacks in recent years.

In South Korea, some 350,000 people between the ages of 19 and 39 are “lonely or secluded” Forty-percent of the affected begin their isolation in their adolescent years.

Italy is also in the midst of a hermit-driven crisis.
