Book: Shutting out the Sun: How Japan Created Its Own Lost Generation
A resource for the fledgling research agenda (and Google+ circle) on "the solitary being": Michael Zielenziger (Berkeley), "Shutting out the Sun: How Japan Created Its Own Lost Generation" (Nan A. Talese/Doubleday, 2006).
Quote: "Japan ... confronts an array of disturbing social trends, notably a population of more than one million hikikomori: the young men who shut themselves in their rooms, withdrawing from society. There is also a growing numbers of 'parasite singles': single women who refuse to leave home, marry, or bear children."
