Synopsis "The Stars in our Pockets: Getting Lost and Sometimes Found in the Digital age"
What shapes our sense of place, our sense of time, and our memory? How is technology changing the way we make sense of the world and of ourselves?For the first time in human history, we're effectively living in two environments at once--the natural and the digital--and many of our traits that help us online don't help us offline. Drawing from his experiences of acclimating to a life of solitude in the woods and then to digital life, Howard Axelrod explores the human brain's impressive but indiscriminate ability to adapt to its surroundings. By considering neural plasticity in terms of our environmental crisis, Axelrod arrives at his own theory: inner climate change. Just as we are losing diversity of plant and animal species, so too we are losing the diversity and range of our minds due to changes in our cognitive environment.As we navigate the rapid shifts between them, how many of our traits are we trading without being aware of it? The Stars in Our Pockets is a personal and profound reminder of the world around us and the ones within us--and how they were made for each other.
