What happens to you when most of your life is experienced through a screen? Roisin Kiberd talks about her new collection of essays called “The Disconnect: A Personal Journey Through the Internet,” sharing her observations on social phenomenas like Get Ready with Me videos on Youtube and working at tech startups. Online platforms have shaped how we communicate with another, and we talk about some of the strange realities that come with caring a phone around with you everywhere. In this interview, we mention Shoshanna Zuboff’s book “The Age of Surveillance Capitalism” and David Graeber’s book “Bullshit Jobs.” You can purchase the book at the following link: https://www.amazon.com/Disconnect-Personal-Journey-Through-Internet-ebook/dp/B08FNQ3Y9Z.
