"In an era when excessive screen time and the pressure to curate our lives for social media are just two of the many powerful technological forces that diminish our ability to be fully present, actualize our best selves, and meaningfully engage with the world around us, Christine Rosen’s The Extinction of Experience is a timely and insightful call to reclaim our humanity." -- Evan Selinger, Professor of Philosophy, Rochester Institute of Technology

It is not merely a warning against algorithmic control of our lives, but, more essentially, an encouraging guidebook to the recovery of personal experience in all its manifold forms. The Extinction of Experience reconnects us with our own lives in marvelous ways." -- Alan Jacobs, author of Breaking Bread with the Dead: A Reader's Guide to a More Tranquil Mind
