by Douglas Rushkoff
The Main Idea
The ultimate goal: achieving perpetual presence in a world where the present moment is constantly being pulled into the past or future through technology, allowing us to live more mindfully and authentically.
In "Present Shock", Douglas Rushkoff reveals how our digital lives are eroding our sense of time, attention, and connection, and offers actionable strategies for reclaiming control over our own pace and presence in a hyper-connected world.
