The Extinction of Experience reveals the true cost of our digital age – and shows us how to return to the real world, while we still can.
‘A passionate case for the human experiences which are central to a truly vibrant and meaningful existence’ OLIVER BURKEMAN
‘Christine Rosen finds the words I’ve longer for … an extremely important book’ JONATHAN HAIDT
Human experiences are disappearing.
Community is now found online; schools prioritise typing; and with headphones in and eyes glued to our phones, we’ve even obliterated boredom. Convenient and entertaining, certainly, but with each technological embrace we risk becoming more machine-like ourselves.
In this insightful reckoning with modern life and its acutely modern malady, Christine Rosen leads us toward a healthier, wiser and more humane way.
