THE LIFE WE’RE LOOKING FOR:
Reclaiming relationship in a technological world
By Andy Crouch
Hodder & Stoughton. 216 pages. £14.99
ISBN 978 1 399 801 768

If modern technology means that we’ve never been more ‘connected’ to others, why do we feel increasingly disconnected from them?

Given that modern technology is sold as being a win-win (‘You’ll now be able to do “this”, and no longer have to do “this” ’) why does so much of it seem to diminish us? As the number of our Facebook ‘friends’ goes up, why does the number of good friends we have seem to be going down?
