Description
In a world of infinite information and constant interaction, something essential is slipping away.
We scroll, post, reply… and yet we find ourselves more fragmented, overstimulated, and quietly unfulfilled.
Disconnected is a book about that erosion—of happiness, connection and understanding—and what it takes to reclaim meaning in the age of distraction.
Written over three years, philosopher and public intellectual Melvin Poh offers a serious inquiry into what it means to live, think, and feel in a hyperconnected world.
Drawing from ancient philosophy and deep intellectual insights, he explores how we’ve lost connection with ourselves—and how philosophy can offer us a way back.
From the illusion of progress to the performance of happiness, from digital fatigue to the quiet crisis of identity, Disconnected does not offer solutions—it offers something rarer: clarity and a call to rediscover the depth we’ve traded for convenience.
This is not a self-help book.
It is a philosophical map back to meaning, purpose, and presence—written to be reflected on, not rushed through.
