Summary:
A decade ago, Wolf's Proust and the Squid revealed what we know about how the brain learns to read and how
reading
changes the way we think and feel. Now that we are completely immersed in the internet and digital devices, our ways of processing language have altered dramatically. In a series of letters, Wolf describes her hopes and concerns about what is happening to the brain as it adapts to digital mediums, illuminating complex ideas with anecdotes and down-to-earth examples. Wolf considers the future of the
reading
brain and our capacity for critical thinking, empathy and reflection as we become increasingly dependent upon digital technologies.
