About this product
Product Information
Winner of the 2021 National Jewish Book Award in Autobiography & Memoir! "A beautiful book... an instant classic of the genre." --Dwight Garner, New York Times - A New York Times Critics' Top Book of 2021 - A New York Times Book Review Editors' Choice - Named a Best Nonfiction Book of 2021 by Kirkus MIT psychologist and bestselling author of Reclaiming Conversation and Alone Together , Sherry Turkle's intimate memoir of love and work For decades, Sherry Turkle has shown how we remake ourselves in the mirror of our machines. Here, she illuminates our present search for authentic connection in a time of uncharted challenges. Turkle has spent a career composing an intimate ethnography of our digital world; now, marked by insight, humility, and compassion, we have her own. In this vivid and poignant narrative, Turkle ties together her coming-of-age and her pathbreaking research on technology, empathy, and ethics. Growing up in postwar Brooklyn, Turkle searched for clues to her identity in a house filled with mysteries. She mastered the codes that governed her mother's secretive life. She learned never to ask about her absent scientist father--and never to use his name, her name. Before empathy became a way to find connection, it was her strategy for survival. Turkle's intellect and curiosity brought her to worlds on the threshold of change. She learned friendship at a Harvard-Radcliffe on the cusp of coeducation during the antiwar movement, she mourned the loss of her mother in Paris as students returned from the 1968 barricades, and she followed her ambition while fighting for her place as a woman and a humanist at MIT. There, Turkle found turbulent love and chronicled the wonders of the new computer culture, even as she warned of its threat to our most essential human connections. The Empathy Diaries captures all this in rich detail--and offers a master class in finding meaning through a life's work.

Reviews
"This is a scintillating memoir. Turkle acts at once as storyteller, ethnographer and psychologist of her own life - one stretching from a straitened Brooklyn Jewish girlhood shadowed by an unspeakable secret to a womanhood of academic accomplishment amidst the excitements of Radcliffe, Harvard, Chicago, Paris in the years after the upheaval of 68 and MIT just as our computer world is born. Along the way she gives us a vivid account of ideas crucial to the last half-century of intellectual life, tracing their inner history with bracing clarity."-- Lisa Appignanesi, author of Everyday Madness "Like a Harvard educated Nancy Drew, Sherry Turkle searches her past for clues to her true self and hits the motherlode in this fascinating, fearless memoir. Her struggle with the legacy of long held family secrets as she forges her own unique path to authenticity and forgiveness is a story countless readers will identify with. Reading The Empathy Diaries , I felt my mind - and my heart--expanding. Sherry Turkle is not only a great writer and teacher--she's great company."-- Winnie Holzman, co-writer of Wicked ; creator of the television series My So-Called Life
