Why we should not accept “networked individualism” as the inevitable future of community. If social interaction by social media has become “the modern front porch” (as one sociologist argues), offering richer and more various contexts for community and personal connection, why do we often feel lonelier after checking Facebook? For one thing, as Taylor Dotson writes in Technically Together, “Try getting a Facebook status update to help move a couch or stay for dinner.” Dotson argues that the experts who assure us that “networked individualism” will only bring us closer together seem to be urging citizens to adapt their social expectations to the current limits of technology and discouraging them from considering how technologies could be refashioned to enable other ways of relating and belonging. Dotson characterizes different instantiations of community as “thick” or “thin,” depending on the facets and manifestations of togetherness that they encompass. Individuating social networks are a form of community, he explains, but relatively thin in regard to several dimensions of communality. Dotson points out that current technological practices are not foreordained but supported by policies, economic arrangements, and entrenched patterns of thought. He examines a range of systems, organizations, and infrastructures—from suburban sprawl and smartphones to energy grids and “cry-it-out” sleep training for infants—and considers whether they contribute to the atomization of social life or to togetherness and community vibrancy. Dotson argues that technology could support multifaceted communities if citizens stopped accepting the technological status quo and instead demanded more from their ever-present devices.

The Poetics of Philosophy is my attempt to hear what academic philosophy attempts to silence, namely, how reason resonates with madness. It is thus a stinging of the great steed of academia in order to recover and re-experience what otherwise would be repressed by the exigencies of bureaucratic-commodity life in the late capitalist world. An analysis of Plato’s principal dialogues with a view towards developing the author’s conception of thinking, knowing, and loving, it incorporates the insights of Heidegger, Nietzsche, and Derrida. Provoking the world mind to reflect upon its phenomenological possibility for Being dispersed within its daily routines or business, the book argues for the metaphysicality of physical reality articulated through the narrative trope of fractal dialectical logic. The present volume’s more general implications extend the insights of the author’s previous work in the area of social science. I refer to the possibility for world communist revolution, which is predicated on communism’s thorough ridding itself of its naïve materialist perspective, the relics of a Newtonian Universe, and its embracing of a fractal-dialectical logic (or similar) that is better able to incorporate the yearning for immortality, desire to experience beauty, and the need to have a meaningful life that define human species life. To articulate such a framework is the aim of my general research.

The opportunity arises when Sheila Weston, the senator’s wife, intervenes, offering Jayla an assignment that she can’t refuse.

RAYNE Being in a band and creating music with my sisters has been a dream come true. Our small-town roots have been replaced with bright lights, big cities, and more attention than we know how to handle. There’s just one thing missing—her. But I’m the one who ultimately pushed her away. Now, I struggle on a daily basis to remember who I am, and who it is I want to be. I need her back. I’m prepared to fight for her, use whatever I have to in order to get her back. JACEY I had to leave him for good to ensure my own sanity. I couldn’t take the groupies throwing themselves at Rayne, and his publicist saying that he had to pretend to be single. I trust him; it’s those grasping, greedy women that I mistrust. Deciding that I can’t go home to the place we all grew up because the ghosts are around every corner, I make a new life for myself in another small town, abandoning all that I love and hold dear. I never expected to see him again. When Rayne forces the issue and shows up in Jacey’s new hometown, will it rekindle what they once had or are the sparks completely dead? Can he handle what she hasn’t told him and will he forgive her? Or is their love truly over?
