About this listen

Rarely has there been a more confusing time to be a man. This uncertainty has spawned an array of bizarre and harmful underground subcultures, collectively known as the manosphere, as men search for new forms of belonging.

In Lost Boys, James Bloodworth delves into these underground worlds and asks where have they come from? Why are so many men susceptible to the sinister beliefs these groups promote? What does the emergence of these communities say about Western society? And what can we do about it? In the course of his journey, he meets incels, enlists on a bootcamp for so-called "alpha males", and speaks to modern day Hugh Hefners using social media to broadcast their jet set lifestyles to millions of followers.

Combining compulsive memoir with powerful reporting, fascinating international case studies, data, cultural analysis and history, Lost Boys is an essential guide to the crisis in contemporary masculinity.

From Neil Strauss to Andrew Tate, Bloodworth demonstrates clearly just how far we have fallen, and need to shift the status quo.

A chilling warning of things to come

Narration was good, the story and topic were interesting. It was great how Bloodworth linked his personal story to current wider political and social movements of the time. I'll be looking forward to further content from this author

Great narration on an interesting topic

Interesting, although seemed quite short given the author spent circa five years on it.

Author did a silly voice tone change every time he read a quote he didn’t personally agree with which grated a lot.

Good but short
