The Shallows

by Nicholas Carr

4.6

In 'The Shallows,' Nicholas Carr explores the profound impact of the internet on our brains and cognition. Carr argues that our constant immersion in digital technology is altering the way we think, read, and remember, leading to a shallower and more distracted existence. Drawing on neuroscience, psychology, and technology history, he delves into how the internet's constant distractions are rewiring our brains and affecting our ability to concentrate and contemplate deeply. This thought-provoking book challenges readers to reconsider their relationship with technology and how it shapes their intellectual lives.
