Hamlet's Blackberry : a practical philosophy for building a good life in the digital age / William Powers.
"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"-- Provided by publisher.
