The Extinction of Experience: A Book Event with Christine Rosen

Human experiences are disappearing. Social media, gaming, and dating apps have usurped in-person interaction; handwriting is no longer prioritized in schools; and emotion is sooner expressed through likes and emoji than face-to-face conversations. In The Extinction of Experience: Being Human in a Disembodied World, AEI’s Christine Rosen shows that when we embrace a life mediated by machines, we risk becoming more disconnected and machinelike ourselves.
There is another way. To improve our well-being, help future generations flourish, and recover our shared humanity, we must become more critical and mindful users of technology and more discerning of how it uses us. Please join AEI for a discussion between Dr. Rosen and AEI’s M. Anthony Mills on the human crisis of our digital age and how we can reclaim serendipity, community, patience, and risk.

I’m always a little disappointed when Christine Rosen isn’t there on the Commentary podcast. She’s intelligent and insightful and a pleasure to listen to.

Rosen is one of the finest journalists of our times, IMO. I read everything she and Kim Strassel write. So glad to see Audible has an audio version of The Extinction of Experience. It will be my next commute “read”.
