"Superbloom"- Nicholas Carr

Join us for a discussion of Superbloom by Nicholas Carr, a thought-provoking examination of how modern communication technologies have reshaped society—and not always for the better. From the telegraph to social media, we’ve long assumed that more access to information leads to greater understanding, but Carr challenges this belief, revealing how the rapid spread of digital communication fosters confusion, conflict, and disconnection.

With rich psychological insights and historical examples, Superbloom explores how messaging apps strip nuance from conversation, how online debates distort perception, and how AI is further blurring the line between reality and illusion. While technology has shaped the way we interact, Carr argues that we still have the power to shape ourselves.
