Our Excruciating Modernity
Our Modern world is excruciatingly flawed. This collection of short essays shares a 16-year-old's views on diverse aspects of Modernity, including social media's perverse effect on the self, the importance of nature, the alarming state of public education, or even death. First, you will find yourself confronted with critical revelations, thought-provoking ideas, and acute observations. Then, you will be inspired to develop your own intimate antidote to the many modernity-induced maladies we all suffer from, such as a sense of paralysing emptiness, the cynicism that stems from a deliberate exposure to overwhelming quantities of information, and the frustration of living in monochromatic megalopolises. But, ultimately, it is the "how" that you will remember, for this piece outlines some of the ways in which we can all, as contributors to, and members of, our present-day society, help build a world that favours living full and fulfilling lives whilst transcending the petty and all-too-human things that make up our existences.Complete

It's Complicated
What is new about how teenagers communicate through services such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram? Do social media affect the quality of teens' lives? In this eye-opening book, youth culture and technology expert danah boyd uncovers some of the major myths regarding teens' use of social media. She explores tropes about identity, privacy, safety, danger, and bullying. Ultimately, boyd argues that society fails young people when paternalism and protectionism hinder teenagers' ability to become informed, thoughtful, and engaged citizens through their online interactions. Yet despite an environment of rampant fear-mongering, boyd finds that teens often find ways to engage and to develop a sense of identity. Boyd's conclusions are essential reading not only for parents, teachers, and others who work with teens but also for anyone interested in the impact of emerging technologies on society, culture, and commerce in years to come. Offering insights gleaned from more than a decade of original fieldwork interviewing teenagers across the United States, boyd concludes reassuringly that the kids are all right. At the same time, she acknowledges that coming to terms with life in a networked era is not easy or obvious. In a technologically mediated world, life is bound to be complicated.Complete
