About the book:

For a long time, the world has been discussing how social networks have affected human communication, interaction and emotional state. Some people find advantages in the development of technology, for example, communication has become much easier. Others doubt the quality and usefulness of such communication. Kathleen Ugolik Phillips' book is a thorough study of the relationship between empathy and modern technology.

Hiding behind nicknames, and essentially remaining invisible on the Internet, many people prefer not to show empathy and try to understand strangers or even acquaintances, but engage in so-called trolling. It's easy to make friends online, but it's also easy to get rid of them by simply clicking 'unfriend'. Behind all these and many other actions, you will not see one extremely important emotion for a person - compassion. In real life, very few people would dare to do such things, but when you are invisible online, it is much easier to be aggressive.

The author of the book asks herself what the human future will be like if emotions that are extremely important for the development of a flourishing society are already under threat. She shares her own stories, as well as the stories of scientists, doctors, entrepreneurs, and many other professionals, trying to figure out how to continue to develop technology without losing important human emotions.
