A new approach to understanding the culture of ubiquitous
connectivity, arguing that our dependence on networked
infrastructure does not equal addiction. In this book, Susanna
Paasonen takes on a dominant narrative repeated in journalistic and
academic accounts for more than a decade: that we are addicted to
devices, apps, and sites designed to distract us, that drive us to
boredom, with detrimental effect on our capacities to focus,
relate, remember, and be. Paasonen argues instead that network
connectivity is a matter of infrastructure and necessary for the
operations of the everyday. Dependencies on it do not equal
addiction but speak to the networks within which our agency can
take shape.
