Penguin Books
-Descripcion Original:
Review “Turkle is by no means antitechnology. But after a career examining relations between people and computers, she blends her description with advocacy. She presents a powerful case that a new communication revolution is degrading the quality of human relationships.” -Jacob Weisberg, The New York Review of Books“Turkle deftly explores and explains the good and bad of this ‘flight from conversation’ while encouraging parents, teachers and bosses to champion conversation, use technology more intentionally and serve as role models.” -Success, A Best Book of 2015 “Reclaiming Conversation reminds readers what’s at stake when devices win over face-to-face conversation, and that it’s not too late to conquer those bad habits.” -Seattle Times “Turkle’s witty, well-written book offers much to ponder. . . . This is the season of polls and sound bites, of updates extolling the perceived virtues or revealing the assumed villainy of opinions. Talk is cheap, but conversation is priceless.” -Boston Globe“Drawing from hundreds of interviews, [Turkle] makes a convincing case that our unfettered ability to make digital connections is leading to a decline in actual conversation-between friends and between lovers, in classrooms and in places of work, even in the public sphere. In having fewer meaningful conversations each day, Turkle argues, we’re losing the skills that made them possible to begin with-the ability to focus deeply, think things through, read emotions, and empathize with others.” -The American Scholar “This is a persuasive and intimate book, one that explores the minutiae of human relationships. Turkle uses our experiences to shame us, showing how, phones in hand, we turn away from our children, friends and co-workers, even from ourselves.” -Washington Post“Reclaiming Conversation is best appreciated as a sophisticated self-help book. It makes a compelling case that children develop better, students learn better, and employees perform better when their monitors set good examples and carve our spaces for face-to-face interactions.” -Jonathan Franzen, The New York Times Book Review“Nobody has thought longer or more profoundly than Sherry Turkle about how our brave new world of social media affects the way we confront each other and ourselves. Hers is a voice-erudite and empathic, practical and impassioned-that needs to be heeded.” -Rebecca Newberger Goldstein, author of Plato at the Googleplex: Why Philosophy Wont Go Away “This book makes a winning case for conversation, at the family dinner table or in the office, as the ‘talking cure’ for societal and emotional ills.” -Publishers Weekly “A timely wake-up call urging us to cherish the intimacy of direct, unscripted communication.” -Kirkus“Only connect! wrote E. M. Forster in 1910. In this wise and incisive book, Sherry Turkle offers a timely revision: Only converse!” -Nicholas Carr, author of The Shallows and The Glass Cage “Smartphones are the new sugar and fat: They are so potent they can undo us if we don’t limit them. Sherry Turkle introduces a lifesaving principle for the twenty-first century: face-to-face conversation first. This heuristic really works; your life, your family life, your work life will all be better. Turkle offers a thousand beautifully written arguments for why you should lift your eyes up from the screen.” -Kevin Kelly, senior maverick for Wired; author of What Technology Wants“Digital media were supposed to turn us from passive viewers to interactive participants, but Turkle reveals how genuine human interaction may be the real casualty of supposedly social technologies. Without conversation, there is no syntax, no literacy, no genuine collaboration, no empathy, no civilization. With courage and compassion, Turkle shows how the true promise of social media would be to reacquaint us with the lost of art making meaning together.” -Douglas Rushkoff, author of Present Shock“To reclaim conversation is to reclaim our humanity.
