Katharine Murphy
On Disruption
Hachette Australia, 2020
Little books, big ideas.
The internet has shaken the foundations of life: public and private lives are wrought by the 24-hour, seven-day-a-week news cycle that means no one is ever off duty. On Disruption is a report from the coalface of that change: what has happened, will it keep happening, and is there any way out of the chaos?
“A crisp, forceful call to reflect on the meaning of disruption; Murphy places her stethoscope firmly on the chest of the modern media, calls it to account and reveals an uncertain, uncomfortable, but enduring heartbeat.”
