- Double-weighted statement
- The ambition and range of this book qualifies it for double-weighting. It is 80,000 words long, with 11 chapters, of which several are equivalent in size and scope to a single output. It introduces new and original concepts on human interaction in the digital age and applies them with penetrating arguments on what emotions and ‘narratives of belonging’ mean today. Illustrative of its scope, it was described as ‘a profound meditation on what it means to be a human today’ (David Inglis, Professor of Sociology, University of Helsinki).
