"Alone Together" (book by Sherry Turkle)

"Alone Together" by Sherry Turkle explores how technology, particularly social media and smartphones, affects our relationships and sense of self. Turkle argues that while technology connects us virtually, it also leads to isolation and shallow interactions. She examines how people often prefer online communication to face-to-face conversations, which can diminish empathy and deep connections. The book calls for a deeper reflection on how we engage with technology, urging a balance between online interactions and meaningful, in-person relationships to foster genuine connections and emotional well-being.
