“What’s making us uncomfortable, in other words, is this feeling of losing control—a feeling that instantiates itself in a dozen different ways each day, such as when we tune out with our phone during our child’s bath time, or lose our ability to enjoy a nice moment without a frantic urge to document it for a virtual audience. It’s not about usefulness, it’s about autonomy.”
SUMMARY: The book provides guidance to quiet down the noise of digital disturbances and to use technology as a tool to achieve your purposes instead.
