About this listen

 In this week’s FUPDATE, we’re digging into a severe form of social withdrawal that the Japanese are calling Hikikomori. The term, mostly used to characterize adolescents and young adults, describes folks so withdrawn that they may become recluses in their parents' homes, not even engaging with the family they live with. Certainly there is big COVID energy around this, but there are also generational divides being highlighted… kind of like that time someone said millennials could buy a home if they just stopped buying all this avocado toast.
