Heidegger, Habermas And The Mobile Phone by Julie Myerson
An accessible cultural-philosophical examination that applies Heidegger’s critique of technology and Habermas’s theory of communicative action to the everyday phenomenon of the mobile phone. It argues that while phones expand connectivity and convenience, they also instrumentalize human interaction, diminish reflective presence, and reshape public discourse and privacy in ways that threaten authentic communication and deliberative democratic life. The book explores the tensions between technological enframing and the possibility of reclaiming meaningful communicative spaces, urging readers to consider how mobile communication alters social norms, relationships, and civic engagement.
