Millennials might have grown up online but now they want to log off. And it's not just millennials. A year of lockdowns, Zoom meetings and reduced physical contact has made us more dependent on the internet than ever before - but has it lost its humanity? Our focus on community and real connection has been sent off-course and we're becoming more aware of how the algorithm manipulates us and how our data has made us a product to be sold. So, where do we go from here and how can we get back on track? (Dis)connected examines these topics and offers tangible tips and advice for those of us who might feel a little lost right now and want to find themselves again.

I have loved Emma for a few years now after discovering her podcast. This book is a great dive into many nuances of online life, from someone who has actually lived it. It is not some boomer ripping into social media and why it’s bad, it showcases that is not a black and white topic. I loved the little prompts she gave and found it to be a very informative, hopeful and practical.
