A brilliant and thoughtful handbook for the Internet age. Digital technology empowers us, as never before, yet it has unforeseen consequences as well. In Mišić’s Hamlet’s Cellphone, we find a crisp, passionately argued answer to the question that everyone who’s grown dependent on digital devices is asking: Where’s the rest of my life? Hamlet’s Cellphone challenges the widely-held assumption that the more we connect through technology, the better. In our time, with the help of digital memory, we have arrived to the extension of the mechanism of “panoptic control” into the past – since the Internet remembers what we want to be forgotten. In a society, such as ours, which identifies human identity with our “digital” past, Mišić’s vision can have a redeeming effect of great significance.
