The book provides a humorous perspective on dating and how to utilize technology as a way to meet people while also reminding us that technology is not a replacement for human interactions. Ansari shares his own experience with being single as well as provides great tips to those wanting guidance on how to make their dating journey more effective. It reminds you to invest in getting to know someone for who they really are when dating, instead of being distracted by technology.
