The Extinction of Experience: Being Human in a Disembodied World

Queue up The Extinction of Experience: Being Human in a Disembodied World by Christine Rosen on Audiobook Flow and let the chapters run. The whole book plays in the browser.

A reflective, original invitation to recover and cultivate the human experiences that have atrophied in our virtual world. We embraced the mediated life—from Facetune and Venmo to meme culture and the Metaverse—because these technologies offer novelty and convenience. But they also transform our sense of self and warp the boundaries between virtual and real. What are the costs? Who are we in a disembodied world?

That is the whole offer: the full recording, a chapter index, and a player that does not ask you to sign up.
