Summary
The article you're referring to is likely "The End of Reading Is Here" by Rose Horowitch in The Atlantic. She argues that society is entering a "postliterate" era in which sustained reading—especially books and other long-form texts—is becoming increasingly rare. Book reading is declining across many groups. She cites survey data suggesting that Americans of different ages, education levels, and backgrounds are spending less time reading books than in previous decades.
