Description: This book shows that since we have delegated the ability to read context to contextual technologies (social media, location, and sensors), we have become context blind. Since this is one of the most dominant symptoms of autistic behavior, people with autism may indeed be giving us a peek into our human condition soon.

Review Quotes: "At once a penetrating social analysis and an eloquent lament for where we are now and where we may be headed, this book is required reading for anyone who wants to understand the source of our failings and delusions. Dr. Berger presents a clear, cogent, and concise diagnosis of the ills of present-day culture, one that is essential if we are to begin to seek healing by reclaiming our real, human contexts once more."--Douglas Rushkoff, Author, Present Shock and Team Human
