Additional Details

"A soulful polemic that challenges the sacred dogma of the digital age--that the more we connect with others, the happier we are--arguing that as our electronic connectedness grows, we are pulled away from the relationships and experiences that give life texture, depth, and meaning"

By "soulful polemic", the reviewer means "extended musings on history, with a little bit of Internet mixed in for current context". I skipped around in the book until I found the one chapter that was really worth reading, "Disconnectopia", in which the author writes of his family's successful decision to turn its modem off one day a week and observe an "Internet Sabbath". A good book to read and return in one sitting.
