Strogatz is mostly known for his research in dynamical systems, where coupling leads to chaotic behaviour. (Strong) coupling also terribly annoys particle physicists when they want to describe the strong nuclear force and generally makes life bad.
He was certainly referring to the first kind, a huge increase in interdependence leading to more chaotic/unpredictable and possibly more vulnerable systems, be they financial, economical, ecological or just semiconduct…orial?
