But, as a constellation of everyday digital phenomena rewires our lives, we are increasingly coaxed from the containment of our predigital selves into a wonderful and eerie fourth dimension, a world of ceaseless communication, instant information, and global connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOur portals to this new world have been wedged open, and the silhouette of a figure is slowly taking shape. But what does it feel like to be four-dimensional? How do digital technologies influence the rhythms of our thoughts, the style and tilt of our consciousness? What new sensitivities and sensibilities are emerging with our exposure to the delights, sorrows, and anxieties of a networked world? And how do we live in public with these recoded private lives?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLaurence Scott--hailed as a \"New Generation Thinker\" by the Arts and Humanities Research Council and the BBC--shows how this four-dimensional life is dramatically changing us by redefining our social lives and extending the limits of our presence in the world. Blending tech-philosophy with insights on everything from \u003ci\u003eSeinfeld\u003c\/i\u003e to the fall of Gaddafi, Scott stands with a rising generation of social critics hoping to understand our new reality. His virtuosic debut is a revelatory and original exploration of life in the digital age.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Laurence Scott\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0393353079\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780393353075\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e W.
