Intimacy at Work shows how portable, digital media allow people to bring their private lives into the workplace, thus softening and humanizing what is often a hard, isolating business world.
According to some social critics, the digital age involves a retreat into the isolation of intelligent machines. Acclaimed scholar Stefana Broadbent takes another view, that digital technologies allow people to bring their private lives into the often alienating world of work. Through ethnographic evidence and data gathered from large samples in Europe and the U.S., Intimacy at Work looks at a paradox in modern life: Although human beings today spend so much of their waking hours working, they remain increasingly connected to family and friendsbecause of digital and social media. This book
