Reclaiming Conversation: The Power of Talk in a Digital Age

The author's observations were spot on and well informed and I appreciated the way she examined a variety of settings in which devices and media have caused unintended effects. However, I agree with @jjares that any solutions offered were wishy-washy at best. I would have liked to come away with the tools to challenge these digital behaviors, both in myself and in others. Instead, I finished the book feeling a sense of weary resignation that this is simply the way things are now and that it's unrealistic to fight it.
