Nicholas Carr, a prominent technology commentator and author of the Pulitzer Prize finalist ‘The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains’ (2010), continues his exploration of technology’s impact on society in his latest book, ‘Superbloom: How Technologies of Connection Tear Us Apart.’
‘Superbloom’ delves into the historical context of mechanized communication, examining how advancements in efficient communication have often fueled misunderstanding, conflict, and societal polarization. Carr investigates the role of tech companies in shaping this environment and considers how users can mitigate the negative consequences of our rapidly evolving digital landscape.
On Thursday, February 6 at 12 PM ET, Carr will discuss ‘Superbloom’ with Senior Fellow Akash Kapur. The conversation will focus on how modern media technology has altered our relationships with society, fellow humans, and ourselves. You can order ‘Superbloom’ now.
