‘Second Life’ Looks at Parenting in an App-Obsessed World

Published 9 months, 3 weeks ago
Description

When New York Times critic Amanda Hess was told her baby had a rare genetic condition, her first instinct was to “Google [her] way out of it.” But instead of comfort, she found anxiety – a feeling that would come to define her journey into parenthood. We talk to Hess about how technology, including fertility apps and high-end gadgets, are reshaping parenthood. Her new book is “Second Life: Having a Child in the Digital Age.”


Guests:

Amanda Hess, culture critic covering the internet and pop culture, New York Times
