“It’s a book for all of us – for parents, students, faculty, everyone – who have begun to wonder why it is so difficult to work in sustained ways, who have begun to wonder whether or not the connectivity our phones provide us is helping us, who have begin to notice a very real tremor in our hands when we haven’t touched our phone in the last five minutes or so.”
