This was my first book by the author it was a wonderful read - I will definitely be seeking out her other books. I had fun browsing her website and just signed up for her newsletter, too. Thank you to NetGalley and Andrews McMeel Publishing for providing this advanced copy – I feel so fortunate to have listened to it.
Dis-Connected by Emma Gannon is a quick listen (~3 hours) about how we navigate the digital world, in a practical way where we attempt to maintain real connections with others in both the real and digital worlds. It’s like a gentle wake-up call (think those alarm clocks that gradually brighten) to check on your online habits, with practical and realistic prompts for how to maintain a balance in how you consume and participate in the land of digital.
It’s not preachy nor does it ask you to overhaul your life. It’s asks you to hold a mirror up to yourself but doesn’t shame you for being a human in the digital age. It’s quite well done!
Adding this to my list of favorite non-fiction books of 2022. Pre-order and add this to your TBR for May 31 and in the meantime, check out her podcast or newsletter.
