Social media, gaming, and dating apps have usurped in-person interaction; handwriting is no longer prioritised in schools; and emotion is sooner expressed through likes and emojis than face-to-face conversations. With headphones in and eyes trained on our phones, even boredom has been obliterated. But, as Christine Rosen expertly shows, when we embrace this mediated life and conform to the demands of the machine, we risk becoming disconnected and machine-like ourselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThere is another way. For too long, under the influence of corporate giants and tech enthusiasts, we've accepted the idea that change always means better. But rapidly developing technology isn't neutral - it's ambivalent and capable of enormous harm. To improve our well-being, help future generations flourish, and recover our shared humanity, we must become more critical, mindful users of technology, and more discerning of how it uses us.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom TikTok challenges and algorithms to surveillance devices and conspiracy culture, \u003cem\u003eThe Extinction of Experience\u003c\/em\u003e reveals the human crisis of our digital age - and urges us to return to the real world, while we still can.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House Distribution","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46553375506668,"sku":"9781847922090","price":36.0,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/25948353482845.jpg?v=1750067995"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.pro\/collections\/christine-rosen.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
