Having had a few days to think about the implications of this book, it rather confirms what some of us already know and most are in deep denial about-----social media is the realm of the shallow, the ill-informed and the lazy. Critical thinking skills not welcome. Learning and intellectual curiosity not welcome. Knowledge not required. Honesty and truth always in question.

It is our brave new world's soma. It's the drug that does effect our brains and keep us addicted to nonsense and it's a huge waste of time. We do not know those people behind the avatars the way we'd like to think. At the end of they day they're fake when measured against the real world of friends, family, and actual life participation.

And let's not kid ourselves, in the end, the world of social ether is always the same----false.
