SEARCHES Selfhood in the Digital Age

The author narrates this creative inquiry into tech's impact on humanity with subtle charm and the curiosity of a serious tech journalist. With the vocal charm and perfection of an AI bot, Anastasia Davidson, performs the advice and commentary Chat GPT gave the author when she asked the AI program about her writing. The stories that personalize this compelling exploration include the author's memories of the Internet's emergence, her social and work relationships throughout her career, and the ways Internet platforms and anonymous social groups influence her identity. This cleverly organized immersion into how various forms of tech are impacting human culture asks a provocative question: In the Digital Age, how can we honestly define ourselves, relate authentically to others, and know what's really important to us?
