Superbloom: How Technologies of Connection Tear Us Apart

From the author of The Shallows, a bracing exploration of how social media has warped our sense of self and society

With rich psychological insights and vivid examples drawn from history and science, Superbloom provides both a panoramic view of how media shapes society and an intimate examination of the fate of the self in a time of radical dislocation. It may be too late to change the system, Nicholas Carr counsels, but it’s not too late to change ourselves.
