Hivemind: Thinking Alike in a Divided World
Autor Sarah Rose Cavanaghen Limba Engleză Hardback – 2 sep 2019
We
have
always
been
a
remarkably
social
species-our
moods,
ideas,
and
even
our
perceptions
of
reality
effortlessly
synchronize
with
each
other.
The
advent
of
social
media
and
smartphones
has
amplified
these
tendencies
in
ways
that
spell
both
promise
and
peril.
Tribes
can
coalesce
around
any
topic,
belief
structure,
or
shared
experience.
This
in-group
bonding
can
be
positive,
as
in
the
case
of
crowd
funded
campaigns
to
support
natural
disaster
victims,
but
just
it
can
also
send
us
down
a
path
of
echo
chambers
and
political
polarization
and
conspiracy
theories.
Leading
a
narrative
journey
from
a
New
England
apiary
to
Charlottesville,
from
zombies
to
casinos
to
the
boardrooms
of
Facebook,
Cavanagh
leaves
no
stone
unturned
in
her
quest
to
understand
how
social
technology
is
reshaping
our
collective
selves-and
what
we
can
do
to
come
back
from
the
polarized
brink.
Our emotions and decisions are tremendously influenced by the stories told by our self-selected communities, the narratives that shape our reality. Cavanagh's fascinating book samples work from as divergent fields as neuroscience and speculative fiction to find ways to cut through our online tribalism and move us back to the larger world. With compelling storytelling and shocking research,Hivemindis a must read for anyone struggling to make sense of the dissonance around us.

From zombies to bees, moral panics to conspiracy theories, Hivemind mixes the dark with the light to help readers find a path through a very destabilizing present' - danah boyd, author of It's Complicated: The Social Lives of Networked Teens
'This fascinating book guides us through the nuanced landscape of why we think and behave the way we do-online and off-and offers a much-needed vision for how we can find our way back from the edge'
- Scott Barry Kaufman, Psychologist at Columbia University and co-author of Wired to Create
'Hivemind provides a fascinating tour of research that reveals our social nature, for good and for bad. Cavanagh is a natural teacher whose enthusiasm for psychology shines through on every page. Whether you're looking to have healthier technology habits, develop better relationships with others, or address societal challenges, this book will give you food for thought and wisdom to take action' - Kelly McGonigal, author of The Joy of Movement and The Willpower Instinct

Hivemind: A collective consciousness in which we share consensus thoughts, emotions, and opinions; a phenomenon whereby a group of people function as if with a single mind.
Our views of the world are shaped by the stories told by our self-selected communities. Whether seeking out groups that share our tastes, our faith, our heritage, or other interests, since the dawn of time we have taken comfort in defining ourselves through our social groups. But what happens when we only socialize with our chosen group, to the point that we lose the ability to connect to people who don't share our passions? What happens when our tribes merely confirm our world view, rather than expand it?
Leading a narrative journey from the site of the Charlottesville riots to the boardrooms of Facebook, considering such diverse topics as zombies, neuroscience, and honeybees, psychologist and emotion regulation specialist Sarah Rose Cavanagh leaves no stone unturned in her quest to understand how social technology is reshaping the way we socialize. It's not possible to turn back the clocks, and Cavanagh argues that there's no need to; instead, she presents a fully examined and thoughtful call to cut through our online tribalism, dial back our moral panic about screens and mental health, and shore up our sense of community.
With compelling storytelling and shocking research, Hivemind is a must-read for anyone hoping to make sense of the dissonance around us.
