Reviews
"Turkle's emphasis on personal stories from computer gadgetry's front lines keeps her prose engaging and her message to the human species-to restrain ourselves from becoming technology's willing slaves instead of its guiding masters-loud and clear."-- Booklist, "[Turkle's] decades of teaching technology and daily living add authority to her fine survey!"-- Bookwatch, " Alone Together ... is packed with creative observations on our machine-mediated lives and what this all means for intimacy, solitude, and being connected." -- Spirituality and Practice, " Alone Together stands as an entirely accessible, tantalizingly thought-provoking read.... Books like this and researchers like Turkle lending their expertise to the debate are absolute necessities."-- Online Education Database, PRAISE FOR THE PREVIOUS EDITION: "[T]his incisive, challenging pop-psychology look at the behavioral effects of social networking on human relationships [has] made a bona-fide pundit out of M.I.T.'s Turkle." -Vocativ.com "Highly recommended." -Management Issues, " Alone Together is a mighty fine layperson's introduction to where we are as a technological and social media society."-- BlogCritics.org, "[Turkle] summarizes her new view of things with typical eloquence...fascinating, readable."-- New York Times Book Review, "Vivid, even lurid, in its depictions of where we are headed... [an] engrossing study."-- Washington Post, "Turkle's prescient book makes a strong case that what was meant to be a way to facilitate communications has pushed people closer to their machines and further away from each other." -- Publishers Weekly, "Turkle is a gifted and imaginative writer... [who] pushes interesting arguments with an engaging style."-- American Prospect, "In this beautifully written, provocative and worrying book, Turkle, a professor at MIT, a clinical psychologist and, perhaps, the world's leading expert on the social and psychological effects of technology, argues that internet use has as much power to isolate and destroy relationships as it has to bring us together." -- Financial Times, "Amidst the deluge of propaganda, technophilia and idolatry that masquerades as objective assessment of digital culture, Turkle offers us galoshes and a sump pump.... [S]he gives a clear-eyed, reflective and wise assessment of what we gain and lose in the current configurations of digital culture." -- Christian Century, "Nobody has ever articulated so passionately and intelligently what we're doing to ourselves by substituting technologically mediated social interaction.... Equipped with penetrating intelligence and a sense of humor, Turkle surveys the front lines of the social-digital transformation."-- Lev Grossman , TIME, "Turkle is clearly passionate in describing what she sees as the looming social isolation being wrought by the new technology.... Alone Together does offer a needed counter to the wholesale adoption of the social media and social robot."-- PsyCritiques, "The picture that arises from [ Alone Together ] is not particularly comforting but it is always compelling and helps explain many behaviors one sees at play in society at large these days, especially among the young."-- Jewish Exponent, "Readers will find this book a useful resource as they begin conversations about how to negotiate and critically engage the technology that suffuses our lives."-- National Catholic Reporter, "Turkle is too smart and hard-working to see technology solely as a cause of social or psychological disorders: this is not the book to read for shallow complaints that young people don't care about privacy or for scare stories about internet addiction." -- ZDNet UK, "What [Turkle] brings to the topic that is new is more than a decade of interviews with teens and college students in which she plumbs the psychological effect of our brave new devices on the generation that seems most comfortable with them." -- Wall Street Journal

Synopsis
A groundbreaking book by one of the most important thinkers of our time shows how technology is warping our social lives and our inner ones Technology has become the architect of our intimacies. Online, we fall prey to the illusion of companionship, gathering thousands of Twitter and Facebook friends, and confusing tweets and wall posts with authentic communication. But this relentless connection leads to a deep solitude. MIT professor Sherry Turkle argues that as technology ramps up, our emotional lives ramp down. Based on hundreds of interviews and with a new introduction taking us to the present day, Alone Together describes changing, unsettling relationships between friends, lovers, and families., Technology has become the architect of our intimacies. Online, we fall prey to the illusion of companionship, gathering thousands of Twitter and Facebook friends, and confusing tweets and wall posts with authentic communication. But this relentless connection leads to a new solitude. We turn to new technology to fill the void, but as MIT technology and society specialist Sherry Turkle argues, as technology ramps up, our emotional lives ramp down. Even the presence of sociable robots in our lives that pretend to demonstrate empathy makes us feel more isolated, as Turkle explains in a new introduction updating the book to the present day. Alone Together is the result of Turkle's nearly fifteen-year exploration of our lives on the digital terrain. Based on interviews with hundreds of children and adults, it describes new, unsettling relationships between friends, lovers, parents, and children, and new instabilities in how we understand privacy and community, intimacy and solitude.
