But then there’s also a lot of books that I’ve read about the American social and political scene, and that other people have read, too, that were very influential, I would say. There’s a book called Bowling Alone, which is truly great. It’s about the death of community activities, like bowling teams and bowling clubs or book clubs or things like that, and about how the society has become so fractured that there’s not a real sense of community meeting places anymore. That’s a lot of where “Go Big Or Go Home”’s storyline came from, I would say. She says in the episode if people just stay in their houses and play videogames, then the town will die. And events like the Harvest Festival that bring thousands and thousands of people to the same place and have them talk to each other and interact with each other are vital for towns and communities.
