Shop our store Description Shipping FAQ Reclaiming Conversation: The Power of Talk in a Digital Age New York Times Bestseller: Sherry Turkle investigates how a flight from conversation undermines our relationships, creativity, and productivity—and how we can reclaim conversation Preeminent author and researcher Sherry Turkle has studied digital culture for over three decades. Long an enthusiast for its possibilities, here she investigates a troubling consequence: at work, at home, in politics, and in love, we are fleeing from conversation. The dinner table falls silent as children compete with phones for their parents’ attention. Friends learn strategies to keep conversations going when no one is looking up from their devices. Online, we share opinions that our followers will agree with—a politics that shies from real conflicts and solutions. We see the costs of the flight from conversation everywhere: conversation is the cornerstone for democracy and in business it is good for the bottom line. In the private sphere, it builds empathy, friendship, love, learning, and productivity. The case for conversation begins with the importance of solitude and self-reflection, which are both endangered. Afraid of being alone, we rely on other people to give us a sense of ourselves. But there is good news: we are resilient. Based on five years of research and interviews in homes, schools, and the workplace, Turkle argues that we have come to a better understanding of where our technology can and cannot take us and that the time is right to reclaim conversation.

The books we sell are known as bargain books. They are books that either are overstocks from the publishers or ones that went out to a Christian bookstore or major department store and were returned to the publisher when they did not sell. They are not used, though sometimes have cover wear. The publishers sell these at a great discount in bulk. We buy these and sort through them to grade their condition. You will note that many of the books are in new condition, but others have other conditions noted. We try to describe them as accurately as possible. What is a remainder book? A remainder book is a brand new book that the publisher would like to get rid of because of overstock, discontinuing the book, etc. The publisher will sell these books in bulk to bargain book dealers at a low cost, allowing us to sell to you. Some publishers will put a line or dot on the on the bottom outside page edges to indicate that it is a remainder book. This keeps the "new" book prices higher and does not allow retailers to return them to the publisher. Other publishers do not mark them in any way. Some of the books we sell have a remainder mark, but many do not. Please complete the eBay checkout process within 5 days.
