Zuckerman draws on his own work as well as the latest research in psychology and sociology to consider technology's role in disconnecting ourselves from the rest of the world. For those who seek a wider picture--a picture now critical for survival in an age of global economic crises and pandemics--Zuckerman highlights the challenges, and the headway already made, in truly connecting people across cultures.
