  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.

  Thoughtful Cinema - Illustrating...

  Anyone who has seen a film and then followed up with a cup of coffee or glass of wine as they discuss it with friends knows that films can inspire thoughtful conversation and further reflection—sometimes long after their initial screening. Thoughtful Cinema explores how films raise and suggest answers to philosophical questions through an in–depth analysis of how seven films engage with various philosophical traditions, ranging from the nineteenth–century German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche to the twentieth and twenty–first century American philosopher Judith Jarvis Thomson.Films can do philosophy, this audiobook argues, as a result of their ability to illustrate philosophical claims and theories. However, the films discussed in this audiobook do much more than that: they also supplement the philosophies they illustrate by expanding their claims and criticizing their assumptions. Films, therefore, can make their own independent contributions to philosophical theory. Thoughtful Cinema tells how films grapple with philosophical ideas such as personal identity, the banality of evil, authenticity, euthanasia, third–party killing, and the power of attention. This audiobook makes an important contribution to the debate about cinematic philosophy that has engaged both philosophers of film and film theorists for decades, and it also proves that philosophy is not just a narrow specialty, accessible only to trained practitioners. Films that do philosophy address the essential concerns of human life, and it's this characteristic—their philosophical attention—that makes them appeal to a wide audience.
