Nicholas Carr: Why Social Media Has Made Us So Anti-Social

Author: The Gospel Coalition, Collin Hansen February 18, 2025 Duration: 38:59
Collin Hansen interviews Nicholas Carr about his book, 'Superbloom: How Technologies of Connection Tear Us Apart', discussing the impact of social media, AI, and communication technologies on relationships and society. They explore the rise of fake news, the erosion of critical thought, and the search for meaningful community in the digital age.

In a world that often feels unsteady, Gospelbound offers conversations grounded in something deeper. Host Collin Hansen, with The Gospel Coalition, sits down each week with thoughtful guests to explore how historic Christian faith speaks into our current moment. These discussions aren't theoretical; they're about the actual books people are reading, the ideas shaping our culture, and the practical challenge of living out conviction when the ground seems to shift. This podcast recognizes the particular anxieties of a post-Christian context but refuses to be defined by them, turning instead to the resources of the gospel for clarity and hope. You'll hear a focus on enduring truth, but the tone is far from detached-it's engaged, curious, and built for anyone who wants their faith to be both thoughtful and resilient. The result is a series of dialogues that feel like a necessary pause, a chance to consider how a centuries-old story provides a surprisingly fresh compass for life today. Tune in for a perspective that is both timely and intentionally rooted beyond the headlines.
