5 Stars • The Echo Chamber by John Boyne satirically follows the Cleverley family. It delves into miscommunication via social media, public image vs. reality, cancel culture, and identity. George, a has-been novelist; Beverley, a TV star; Elizabeth, an influencer; and Nelson, transgender, navigate fame and personal life, often clashing due to their echo chambers. ⬇️

suvata It mocks the superficiality of digital lives, the quest for fame, and how online echo chambers distort reality. In essence, it's a humorous critique of modern celebrity culture and the isolating effects of social media. 4w

The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness | Jonathan Haidt

pick

This is a really important book that all parents and educators should read. It shows how the epidemic of mental illness stems directly from our shift from ‘play based‘ to ‘phone based‘ childhoods. The data and evidence in this book is truly mind blowing. I had not heard the term ‘sociogenic illnesses‘ before but it makes total sense to me and something I‘ve long suspected is happening. It‘s not all doom and gloom. There are solutions. Read it!

Every Single Lie | Rachel Vincent

pick

When 16 year old Beckett discovers the body of a newborn baby in her high school locker room it sends shock waves through her small home town. Whose baby? Tongues start to wag and soon Beckett finds herself the victim of a hateful Twitter firestorm. This is a mystery and a novel about friendship, family, and grief. A page turner.

ShyBookOwl Wow 💔 Sounds like a difficult but topical story 1mo

This book deserves all the attention it is getting. Every parent, every educator, and any person who has an adolescent in their life needs to read this book. I wish I could turn back the clock and do things differently with my children and technology, especially my youngest.

Cupcake12 This sounds really insightful x 1mo

Not reading this whole book and I totally disagree with the author‘s “peer contagion” nonsense regarding trans identities… but I have to say this graph is striking. So even though I think Haidt is wrong on other things, maybe we should all go out and spend more time with friends?
