A philosophical defence of what makes us human - and a powerful argument for reclaiming ourselves in a digital world, while we still can

The Extinction of Experience reveals the true cost of our digital age - and shows us how to return to the real world, while we still can.

'A passionate case for the human experiences which are central to a truly vibrant and meaningful existence' OLIVER BURKEMAN

'Christine Rosen finds the words I've longer for ... an extremely important book' JONATHAN HAIDT

Human experiences are disappearing.

Community is now found online; schools prioritise typing; and with headphones in and eyes glued to our phones, we've even obliterated boredom. Convenient and entertaining, certainly, but with each technological embrace we risk becoming more machine-like ourselves.

In this insightful reckoning with modern life and its acutely modern malady, Christine Rosen leads us toward a healthier, wiser and more humane way.

'Illuminating ... well-argued and well-principled' TELEGRAPH, BEST BOOK OF 2025

'Essential reading in a dislocated world' KATHERINE MAY
