Abstract:
Social media use is pervasive, and so is it's perceived harmful effects, dubbed 'techlash'. Disconnection practices-restricting, detoxing, deleting-often reinforce rather than confront the ways social media organize attention, everyday life, and society. This book addresses the ambivalence, commodification, and complicity involved in attempts to separate from social media.
