The End of Absence: Reclaiming What We've Lost in a World of Constant Connection by Michael Harris
4.0
This book has some boring chapters, I can't deny that. And I'm not sure I was left with any great epiphany; I take stock of my involvement in the networked world fairly often. But it was good to hear some of my own thoughts about being in between generations--at home in the world of technology for all intents and purposes, and yet often very suspicious of its role in my own life--echoed by someone else in the same generation. I'm going to do some small tech adjustments--as I've tweeted (OH THE IRONY), I don't want my friends to text people while they're with me, and I'll do them the same courtesy. All in all, this is thought-provoking, and if you too struggle with where we are, networked to the wazoo (and more to come, surely), then you really should read this.
