Summary:
"A tragic 'texting-while-driving' car crash that claimed the lives of two rocket scientists in 2006, part of an exploration of technology’s vast influence on the human mind and society. The story of Utah college student Reggie Shaw, who killed two scientists while texting and driving. We follow Reggie through the tragedy, the police investigation, his prosecution, and ultimately, his redemption. Richtel interweaves Reggie's story with cutting-edge scientific findings regarding human attention and the impact of technology on our brains, proposing solid, practical, and actionable solutions to help manage this crisis individually and as a society. The author explores one of the biggest questions of our time -- what is all of our technology doing to us?
