“Reader Come Home: The Reading Brain in a Digital World” by neuroscientist Maryanne Wolf is perhaps the most important book I’ve read in the last 10 years. 📚
She examines how our capacity for critical thinking, empathy, and reflection changes as we become increasingly dependent on digital technologies. Essentially, we are becoming shallower, less intentional readers. She encourages us to develop cognitive patience to do deep reading.
Loved it. Notes to come
