Our computers and mobile devices do wonderful things for us. But they also impose a burden, making it harder for us to focus, do our best work, build strong relationships, and find the depth and fulfillment we crave. How to solve this problem? Hamlet�s BlackBerry argues that we just need a new way of thinking, an everyday philosophy for life with screens. William Powers sets out to solve what he calls the conundrum of connectedness. Reaching into the past�using his own life as laboratory and object lesson�he draws on some of history�s most brilliant thinkers, from Plato to Shakespeare to Thoreau, to demonstrate that digital connectedness serves us best when it�s balanced by its opposite, disconnectedness. Lively, original, and entertaining, Hamlet�s BlackBerry will challenge you to rethink your digital life.
