Title: The Empathy Diaries
Author: Sherry Turkle
Genre: Memoir
Sherry Turkle is a psychologist at MIT who studies how technology impacts relationships and society. Her recent books (Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less from Each Other; and Reclaiming Conversation: The Power of Talk in a Digital Age) are explorations of the striking ways in which we humans are being changed by the devices we use every day. I was thrilled to discover her memoir, which starts by vividly describing her childhood in midcentury Brooklyn, but also goes on to show how she became an original thinker and fought to find space in academia for her new and challenging ideas.
