Recommendation

Using an ATM, buying merchandise online or having your dinner delivered are super convenient, but high tech has a downside: With less face-to-face contact, people suffer disconnection, isolation and loneliness. Isolation’s negative consequences prove particularly severe in the workplace. Ryan Jenkins and Steven Van Cohen examine the cultural consequences of tech-induced loneliness and lack of human connection, and they propose ways to return humanity to the fore. Their deftly written book will compel you to reflect on your daily behavior and how you can help society – and yourself – become human once more.

Take-Aways

  • An epidemic of loneliness threatens society’s foundation.
  • Embracing technology often means prioritizing convenience over connection. 
  • You can plug in and suffer disconnection at the same time.
