Rezensionen

Hakanen offers a fascinating and innovative account of the self in today's technologically saturated world, and the ways in which our very reflections on media effects contribute to the cultural shift. The resulting portrait of the teleself is scarcely flattering, but if Hakanen's analysis is on target, we are courting illusions that are ultimately enslaving. -- Kenneth J. Gergen, author of The Saturated Self
