Everybody's home, and nobody's coming over
Original: Everybody’s home. No one’s coming over
Derek Thompson's essay 'The Death of the American Host' argues that Americans have stopped entertaining at home: people are home more than ever, yet almost no one hosts friends. He ties the decline of the dinner party to rising loneliness, social anxiety, costly hosting norms and a broader retreat from community life. Readers are debating whether the problem is economics, culture or simply changing habits around leisure and friendship.
Why now: The essay taps into widespread concern about loneliness and the collapse of in-person social life.
