Description

The Twittering Machine by Richard Seymour explores the darker side of social media. A surrealist artist's machine is depicted as luring humans into a pit of damnation, mirroring our relationship with social media. Seymour argues that this system can be seen as an addiction-machine, where users are drawn in by likes, comments and shares. Through journalism, psychoanalytic reflection and interviews, Seymour delves into the human side of this machine, examining what we gain from it and what we're getting ourselves into. By probing the inner workings of social media, Seymour sheds light on its impact on our lives. This book offers a thought-provoking analysis of the effects of social media on society, inviting readers to consider their own relationship with these platforms.
