Summary:
Lanier offers powerful and personal reasons for all of us to leave the dangers of online platforms behind. It has seen their tendency to bring out the worst in us, to make politics terrifying, to trick us with illusions of popularity and success, to twist our relationship with the truth, to disconnect us from other people. And he asks: How could the benefits of
social
media
possibly outweigh the catastrophic losses to our personal dignity, happiness, and freedom? -- adapted from jacket.
