## Description

Brought to you by Penguin. 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 'Christine Rosen finds the words I've longer for ... an extremely important book' JONATHAN HAIDT 'Illuminating ... well-argued and well-principled' TELEGRAPH , BEST BOOK OF 2025 'Essential reading in a dislocated world' KATHERINE MAY 'Razor-sharp' THE TIMES 'Christine Rosen is one of America's best writers and thinkers' WASHINGTON EXAMINER © Christine Rosen 2025 (P) Penguin Audio 2025
