Drawing on decades of research The Extinction of Experience is a philosophical defence of what makes us human - and a powerful urgent call to reclaim ourselves in a digital world. 'Essential reading in a dislocated world' KATHERINE MAY author of Wintering 'An extremely important book' JONATHAN HAIDT author of The Anxious Generation Human experiences are disappearing. 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 more disconnected and machine-like ourselves. There 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. From TikTok challenges and algorithms to surveillance devices and conspiracy culture The Extinction of Experience reveals the human crisis of our digital age - and urges us to return to the real world while we still can. 'A beautifully expressed ode to the vanishing components of life that remain unplanned unresearched and unrecorded ... Excellent' ADAM ALTER author of Irresistible
