Diez razones para borrar tus redes sociales de inmediato

A brilliant manifesto that calls for action to start reinventing the Internet. Do you find it hard to imagine a life without social networks? What if they gave you ten reasons that convinced you of the toxicity of its effects? In this book, Jaron Lanier, the man who coined the term "virtual reality" and one of the founding fathers of web 2.0, explains to us with overwhelming forcefulness how social networks are turning us into spiteful, sad, scary, little empathetic people, isolated and trivial. All this due to the tendency of networks to bring out the worst in us, to turn politics into something terrifying, to deceive ourselves with illusions of popularity and success, to change our relationship with the truth, to disconnect from people, even if we are more Connected than ever, and curtail our freedom with relentless specially targeted ads. If you want a happier life, a more just and peaceful world, or simply the opportunity to think for yourself without being monitored and influenced by the richest corporations in history, the best thing you can do is cancel your accounts. Now.
