To pull away from our hyperconnected lives is painful; it is hard, and it is a muddle. Harris walks us through his particular muddle with wit, wry honesty, and compassion for the "strange suffering" of all who find themselves checking email at the dinner table.
Andrew Cleary - Christian Science Monitor
A personalized jeremiad against the state of constant distraction in which our benevolent technologies have ensnared us.... Harris' core argument...feels valid, and his prose is graceful, but as a social narrative, the book becomes repetitive and less focused.... A thoughtful addition to the bookshelf addressing the unintended consequences of a wired world.
