Check out the idea of peoples’ ‘second selves’, the self they curate, alongside the self they traditionally live. I think we’ve always had a social self, a second self, it’s just that now it’s much, much bigger than it used to be. People staring at their phones and oversharing on social media are living the struggle between the two selves. An anthropologist studying modern people. And finding that our technologies are us, they’re not tools.
