plugged: how hyperconnectivity and the beam changed the way we think

PLUGGED is a ＂future history＂ written by fictional author Sterling Gibson: a Malcolm-Gladwell-esque work of fiction written as if it were nonfiction, exploring the sci-fi world of The Beam.

Throughout the 21st Century, our world (at least for those of us inside the NAU) has become increasingly connected. So much so that we really are now thinking as a single fluid organism, changing not just how we live our daily lives, but who we are as a species.

In Sterling Gibson’s newest thoughtful exploration, one of the NAU’s most renowned thinkers explores and illuminates how hyperconnectivity and The Beam have changed us forever.
