According to “The End of Solitude" "the contemporary self" wants to be recognized and wants to be connected. It also wants to be visible. The "great contemporary terror" is anonymity.

According to “The End of Solitude,” what is it that “the contemporary self” wants to be know by others, they want to be connected with other people constantly. "The contemporary self" wants to be visible. The "great contemporary terror" is anonymity or the state or quality of being anonymous. This is also goes hand and hand with people never want to be alone or are afraid to be alone.

The great contemporary terror is about being anonymous; being unknown by others. But the contemporary self desires to be constantly connected. The want to be seen and known. Oddly enough the two seem opposite yet related.
