Finding Yourself in the Age of Social Media: The Missing Instructions for the Internet

by Nicholas Carter

"The short-term, dopamine-driven feedback loops that [Facebook has] created are destroying how society works. No civil discourse, no cooperation, misinformation, mistruth.” (Chamath Palihapitiya, former vice president for user growth at Facebook)
