What is atomized?

Like how when I heard someone say (to someone from New York, I guess since it came up) thatsince they were from New York that they were used to “atomized meaninglessness”. Does anyone know what they mean by that statement?

It mean rootless, detached from all others. The only relationships you have are transactional.

Yep, like Beltane said it means being separate and lacking contact with others.
