Disconnected: Exploring the Decline of Social Networks examines the future of social networks, highlighting their transformation from community builders to sources of misinformation and frustration. Using interdisciplinary insights, it uncovers the complex interplay of technological, social, and cultural factors behind this shift. It discusses the impact on individuals, businesses, and society, proposing pathways to a healthier digital environment.

The book delves into the fascinating journey of social networks, tracing their evolution from tools that fostered community building to platforms that can sometimes spread misinformation. It explores how privacy issues are crucial in shaping user experiences and trust. Disconnected also examines the phenomenon of algorithmic polarization, where algorithms create echo chambers and contribute to the spread of disinformation.

The author explores the social and cultural factors that influence social networks. Additionally, he includes case studies that highlight the real-world impacts of social networks on individuals, businesses, and society as a whole.

Readers will discover practical solutions that offer pathways to creating a healthier digital environment, enable recognition of misinformation and privacy issues more effectively as well as gain strategic insights that will help navigate and influence the future of social networks.
