   Is 'alone together' a good book?

   • I found 'Alone Together' hugely thought-provoking. The methods used are anthropological and grounded in the ideas of psychoanalysis, which made for an interesting change. The specific points within each theme are introduced and explained through case studies.

   What are the two main sections of 'alone together'?

   • In these, it shines. The two main sections of Alone Together consider our engagements with first, robots and robotic toys; next, social networks. Her argument can be summed up with this quote from the introduction: "we seem determined to give human qualities to objects and content to treat each other as things." (p. xiv)
