Keeping in touch with our humanity

Keeping in touch with our humanity

This week on CW, Rob Clowes asks whether social networking is actually making us antisocial, in an essay-review of Sherry Turkle’s Alone Together: Why We Expect More from Technology and Less From Each Other. Lee Jones reviews Steven Soderbergh’s Contagion, and finds impressive research into the global governance of pandemic disease does not necessarily make for gripping cinema. And Paul Kilbey reports from an ICA talk on sound in art, and reviews Fiona Shaw’s current ENO production of The Marriage of Figaro in London.
