As more people retreat from the world and turn to digital distractions, she reflects on how stories can, ironically, pull us off the page and back into community. Drawing on themes of isolation, compassion, and the rise of hikikomori culture, Tamez invites readers to consider how reading can become a path toward connection and healthy engagement with the world around us.
