The Big Sort: Why the Clustering of Like-Minded America is Tearing Us Apart is a book written by journalist Bill Bishop. In it, Bishop explores the concept of how social, economic, and political forces have come together to create an ever growing divide among Americans. He argues that over the last thirty years, Americans have been increasingly living amongst others who share the same opinions and values. This has had a dramatic influence on how Americans view each other, as well as how they interact politically. The book also explores the rise of digital communication and its effects on meaningful dialogue, as well as how the effects of media and advertising have led to further polarization. In addition, Bishop examines why these divides have been so long-lasting and the issues that come from living in a polarized society.
