Aperçu
How the internet created dystopia.
Recommendation
By 2019, some 4.3 billion people were plugging into the internet every day, with the average user spending more than six hours per day online. Unsurprisingly, that changed people, and in this witty, perceptive exploration, Roisin Kiberd examines how. In a series of highly personal essays, she delves into such topics as Facebook’s “surveillance capitalism,” internet addiction and technology’s effects on emotional and physical well-being.
