Ravi welcomes Nicholas Carr to discuss his thought-provoking new book, Superbloom, which examines how social media and digital communication have reshaped human relationships and society. They dive into the history of communication technologies and explore the deeper issues of modern society’s dependence on these tools. Carr challenges the idea that more communication is always better, stressing the need for balance between digital interaction and real human connection.
The conversation also touches on legal frameworks governing digital communication, the challenges of regulation, and the role of both individual and collective responsibility in managing the age of digital distraction, division, and constant information overload. Together, they explore possible paths forward for a healthier relationship with technology.
