The Shallows: How the Internet Is Changing the Way We Think, Read and Remember

The Shallows by Nicholas Carr is a groundbreaking book that reveals the profound impact of technology on our brains, social interactions, and understanding of the world around us.

This 10th-anniversary edition includes a new afterword that examines the cognitive and behavioral effects of smartphones and social media, providing a comprehensive update on the state of our digital dependence. With compelling arguments and supported by the latest research, Carr shows how the internet has altered our thought processes, leading to superficial understanding and a loss of depth in our interactions.

He also explores the implications of this shift for our daily lives, including communication, memory, and socialization. This book is not a call to reject technology but rather a sobering reminder of the need to be aware of its influence on our minds and society.

The Shallows is essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the true impact of technology on their lives and the world around them.
