In artist Paul Klee’s The Twittering Machine, the bird-song of a machine acts as bait to lure humankind into a pit of damnation. Leading political writer Richard Seymour argues that this is a chilling metaphor for our relationship with social media. Former social media executives tell us that the system is an addiction-machine. We are users, waiting for our next hit as we like, comment and share. We write to the machine as individuals, but it responds by aggregating our fantasies, desires and frailties into data, and returning them to us as a commodity experience. Through journalism, psychoanalytic reflection and insights from users, developers, security experts and others, Seymour probes the human side of the machine, asking what we’re getting out of it, and what we’re getting into.

I found this book to be incredibly insightful and thought-provoking. Beautifully written and thoroughly researched. Even though the information gets quite 'heavy' in places, it is well worth the journey.

A very important book

Very easy listen- the writer uses language very eloquently and it was pleasant to listen to. The topics are gripping and will stick with me for sure. Quitting facebook has done wonders for me and this book affirms why it was a good decision!

Nice

This book was a scathing critique of the narrative surrounding social media, rather than what I thought to be a book about the science of social media

Commentary more than science
