Unfriending Dystopia
Ebook
Social media is shaping our lives, churches, communities, and culture in both positive and negative ways. How can we take the positive and leave the negative? This book aims to give you a practical understanding of the culture social media developed in, the culture it creates, and practical ways to engage with social media to keep the good and reduce the impact of the negative.
“A brilliant introduction to social media that explains how it
works behind the flashy screens. White, a recognized authority in
the digital media world, provides a well-written, brief but
informative book that highlights some of the dangers social media
poses to users. He concludes with some reasonable ways for users to
protect themselves from the dangers of its manipulation.”
—Bruce A. Little, Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary,
emeritus
“Unfriending Dystopia blends a deep understanding of
technology and human nature to expose why social media can be so
destructive and suggest practical strategies everyone can use to
avoid the pitfalls while keeping the value. In a few short
chapters, Russ gives us a clear call to be neither a Luddite nor a
technophile, but rather to understand technologies in their own
terms, and to learn how to use them effectively without becoming
their servant.”
—Chris Brady, CEO, Life Leadership
