But they also transform our sense of self and warp the boundaries between virtual and real. What are the costs? Who are we in a disembodied world? In The Extinction of Experience, Christine Rosen investigates the cultural and emotional shifts that accompany our embrace of technology. In warm, philosophical prose, Rosen reveals key human experiences at risk of going extinct, including face-to-face communication, sense of place, authentic emotion, and even boredom. Considering cultural trends, like TikTok challenges and mukbang, and politically unsettling phenomena, like sociometric trackers and online conspiracy culture, Rosen exposes an unprecedented shift in the human condition, one that habituates us to alienation and control. To recover our humanity and come back to the real world, we must reclaim serendipity, community, patience, and risk.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: USItem Height: 236mmItem Length: 160mmItem Width: 25mmItem Weight: 450gAuthor: Christine RosenGenre: Society & CultureTopic: Science Nature & Math, Social SciencesRelease Year: 2024 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
