Have you by any chance read this one? Part of it was manadatory reading for one of my urban planning courses. The title refers to the fact "more and more people take up bowling as a recreational sport, but fewer and fewer belong to organized leagues" which he uses as a metaphor for urban life in general. He argues that the general trend of U.S. urban society is towards less civic engagement, not more, and that meaningful human moments of contact are becoming a rare thing.
