Descrizione dell’articolo da parte del venditore

Paperback. The debut memoir from beloved New York Times critic Amanda Hess chronicles the convergence of parenthood and technology.Second Life is a tender, perceptive account of pregnancy and early motherhoodand a stylish confrontation with the demented landscape of digital parenting content. Anna Wiener, author of Uncanny ValleyAs an internet culture critic for The New York Times, Amanda Hess had built a reputation among readers as a sharp observer of the seductions and manipulations of online life. But when Hess discovered she was pregnant with her first child, she found herself unexpectedly rattled by a digital identity crisis of her own.In the summer of 2020, a routine ultrasound detected a mysterious abnormality in Hesss baby. Without hesitation, she reached for her phone, looking for answers. But rather than allaying her anxieties, her search sucked her into the destabilizing morass of the internet, and she was vulnerablemore than everto conspiracy, myth, judgment, commerce, and obsession.As Hess documents her escalating relationship with the digital world, she identifies how technologies act as portals to troubling ideologies, ethical conflicts, and existential questions, and she illuminates how the American traditions of eugenics, surveillance, and hyper-individualism are recycled through these shiny products for a new generation of parents and their children.At once funny, heartbreaking, and surreal, Second Life is a journey that spans a network of fertility apps, prenatal genetic tests, gender reveal videos, rare disease Facebook groups, freebirth influencers, and hospital reality shows. Hess confronts technologys distortions as they follow her through pregnancy and into her sons early life. The result is a critical record of our digital age that reveals the unspoken ways our lives are being fractured and reconstituted by technology.
