Robert Putnam

Putnam charted a decades-long collapse in American community — the clubs, the dinners, the casual ties — and argued that this eroding "social capital" quietly costs us health, trust, and happiness.

He supplies the stakes. The drift Orbit fights isn't only personal forgetfulness; it's the same slow fraying, one relationship at a time. Tending your 150 well is a small, private act of rebuilding the social fabric that everything else rests on.
