William Powers argues many of the same points as he discusses his book
Hamlet's BlackBerry: A Practical Philosophy for Building a Good Life in the Digital Age
. Powers looks at philosophers such as Seneca and Thoreau who sought to escape the busyness of everyday life and he applies their thinking to our digital age. He talks about his family's experiments with disconnecting from the internet on weekends and how stepping away from being wired has been a revelatory experience.
