It feels like an older version of "sheeple".

In terms of modern Stoic writing, I find Ryan Holiday's "The Ego is The Enemy" and "The Obstacle is the Way" (as well as his "Daily Stoic", although that's more of a daily devotional) to be very enjoyable and help to reframe the often hard-to-read writings of Aurelius, Seneca and Epictetus into actionable advice.

Met Ryan in person when he was on a book tour for Obstacle is The Way. Predominantly he is the one to introduce me to Aurelius and Stoicism in general. What do you think of Ego is The Enemy, a worthwhile read?
What is the singular of sheeple, anyway?
Errson?
That is the best comment I’ve seen all year. Bravo.
