Isolation has the connotation of a single thing or individual being… Isolated from the group. Atomization is meant to evoke a sense of the more widespread impact on society. After all, if something only impacts a small subset it’s considered… “Isolated”

That being said, atomization is definitely not a new term to describe this…

I read the first book or two series in middle school(‽) and it was pretty good, if I recall correctly this had a pretty good sibling relationship, and the only thing stopping me from finishing it was the library didn’t have the rest.

Definitely don’t just dismiss books for YA though! There’s no reason you can’t enjoy a good book because of the target audience. I still re-read my favorites all the time, and try out new books.

Are atanmodernism and cscmodernism a thing?
