Product Information
“Reclaiming Conversation” is Sherry Turkle’s investigation of how the departure from conversation is detrimental to relationships, creativity, and productivity. Face-to-face conversation amidst a technological universe can help people regain their communication skills.
Turkle investigates the consequences of our disconnection in a technology-driven society - work, at home, in politics, and in love - as we find ways to avoid genuine conversation while instead using text and email to avoid having to look, listen, or reveal ourselves.
The author believes the case for conversation begins with the necessary conversations of solitude and self-reflection, that we now have a better understanding of the limits of technology, and the time is right to reclaim conversation.
