Megan Garber explains how today's internet-inflected culture conditions us to see one another not as people but as characters in an ongoing show, and how some of our most chronic and harmful social conditions-loneliness, depression, mistrust, misinformation, cynicism-stem from our demand for diversion.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn ten chapters, each themed around an element of entertainment-from \"The Producers,\" who edit our reality, to \"The Extras,\" the strangers we turn into objects of our amusement, to \"the Haters,\" the worshipful Qanon-types who expect the prophecies of their anonymous leader to play out on live television-Garber argues that this comedy of our daily lives is quickly becoming tragedy.
