The Extinction of Experience reveals the true cost of our digital age – and shows us how to return to the real world, while we still can.

Human experiences are disappearing.

Community is now found online; schools prioritise typing; and with headphones in and eyes glued to our phones, we’ve even obliterated boredom. Convenient and entertaining, certainly, but with each technological embrace we risk becoming more machine-like ourselves.

In this insightful reckoning with modern life and its acutely modern malady, Christine Rosen leads us toward a healthier, wiser and more humane way.

‘A passionate case for the human experiences which are central to a truly vibrant and meaningful existence’ OLIVER BURKEMAN
