A deeply researched book about the hidden forces shaping our sense of self in an age of non-stop connectivity and frenetic change.
Told through the eyes of the researcher whose own identity is torn asunder by a succession of surprising blows, what started as a systematic examination of the impact of the internet on the psyche, morphed into a revelatory adventure of what it means to regain the thread of self in an age of hyper-reinvention.
Blending memoir, Jungian psychology, and reportage, the book offers a psychological and soulful portrait of the person who will thrive in the digital age, and what it means to build and rebuild personal identity an era of churning dynamism.
