Out of Touch

In "Out of Touch," psychology professor Michelle Drouin examines the impact of modern technology on human intimacy, highlighting how digital connections may often fall short of fulfilling our deep-seated needs for physical and emotional closeness. She explores various facets of relationships, including the nature of intimacy, the role of touch, and the influence of online platforms like social media and dating apps, emphasizing both potential benefits and drawbacks. The book considers how technological advances can either bridge emotional gaps or contribute to feelings of loneliness, especially during times of widespread isolation.
