Description
The Extinction of Experience: Reclaiming Our Humanity in a Digital World In a world where technology dominates our lives, we risk losing touch with what makes us human. Social media, gaming, and dating apps have replaced in-person interaction, while handwriting and face-to-face conversations are increasingly seen as old-fashioned. But Christine Rosen argues that this mediated life comes with a cost: we risk becoming disconnected and machine-like ourselves. Rosen explores the human crisis of our digital age, revealing how rapidly developing technology can be both beneficial and harmful. She urges us to become more critical and mindful users of technology, and to be more discerning of how it uses us. By examining the impact of social media, algorithms, surveillance devices, and conspiracy culture, Rosen shows us the need to return to the real world, while we still can. This book is a powerful call to reclaim our humanity in a digital world, and to take control of how we interact with technology.
