Well lots of people are still reading books. http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/10/19/slightly-fewer-americans-are-reading-print-books-new-survey-finds/ http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2015/10/19/slightly-few... The number seems to be holding steady in the low to mid 70% of the population reading at least one book per year. Further, the MOST likely readers are 18-29 (as of 2015) The follow up Pew study in 2016 showed similar trends. Neat human interest/hot take, I guess? But the reality doesn't seem to match with the author's experience.
