Superbloom
How Technologies of Connection Tear Us Apart
Book • 2025
Superbloom provides a panoramic view of how media shapes society and an intimate examination of the fate of the self in a time of radical dislocation.
Nicholas Carr challenges cherished beliefs about self-expression, free speech, and media democratization, revealing how messaging apps strip nuance from conversation, 'digital crowding' erodes empathy and triggers aggression, and online political debates narrow minds and distort perceptions.
The book also discusses how advances in AI blur the line between fantasy and reality, forcing readers to confront inconvenient truths about human nature and the impact of technology.
