Whatsapp groups? The author just spent an entire essay arguing against social media, and then says that we ought to prioritize interacting with people over social media? I don't think that this was well-considered.

It's easy to live life without social media, and only a little bit harder to live without a smartphone. Worth attempting, in any case.

Orwell and Bradbury were afraid no one would be allowed to read a book. Huxley was afraid no one would want to.

Huxley it is.
