Stop. Listen. Step outside the echo chamber.

How do we step outside our own echo chamber to understand others? What are we losing when we share fewer and fewer national moments?

The new media is enabling despots and disempowering democracy. So when every opinion seems to matter equally, ON US invites us to switch our devices off and to read uninterrupted. It contemplates why more information often means less insight.
