Sinossi

"White House Ghosts" explores the captivating stories of spectral encounters and alleged hauntings within America's most famous residence. It delves into the intriguing intersection of American history, folklore, and the enduring human fascination with the paranormal. The book examines documented accounts, testimonies from White House staff, and the evolution of ghost stories, such as those surrounding Abraham Lincoln, to understand their cultural impact. Some believe these tales reflect a desire to connect with the past, while others see them as a form of cultural memory, allowing engagement with the legacies and personalities of past presidents. The book uniquely approaches its subject by analyzing the historical, psychological, and sociological factors that underpin the phenomenon of White House ghost stories. It progresses logically from introducing the White House's historical context to examining prominent ghost stories and linking them to broader themes of American identity. By exploring the enduring legends and alleged hauntings, the book offers a nuanced perspective on why these narratives persist and what they reveal about American society.

    From the author of The Shallows, a bracing exploration of how social media has warped our sense of self and society. 
      
    From the telegraph and telephone in the 1800s to the internet and social media in our own day, the public has welcomed new communication systems. Whenever people gain more power to share information, the assumption goes, society prospers. Superbloom tells a startlingly different story. As communication becomes more mechanized and efficient, it breeds confusion more than understanding, strife more than harmony. Media technologies all too often bring out the worst in us. 
      
    A celebrated commentator on the human consequences of technology, Nicholas Carr reorients the conversation around modern communication, challenging some of our most cherished beliefs about self-expression, free speech, and media democratization. He reveals how messaging apps strip nuance from conversation, how “digital crowding” erodes empathy and triggers aggression, how online political debates narrow our minds and distort our perceptions, and how advances in AI are further blurring the already hazy line between fantasy and reality. Even as Carr shows how tech companies and their tools of connection have failed us, he forces us to confront inconvenient truths about our own nature. The human psyche, it turns out, is profoundly ill-suited to the “superbloom” of information that technology has unleashed. 
      
    With rich psychological insights and vivid examples drawn from history and science, Superbloom provides both a panoramic view of how media shapes society and an intimate examination of the fate of the self in a time of radical dislocation. It may be too late to change the system, Carr counsels, but it’s not too late to change ourselves.
