"In Connecting, Mary Chayko investigates how physically separated people manage to create a sense of connectedness - a "meeting of the minds" - and feel undeniably, if unexpectedly, bonded. Through dozens of personal accounts, the book considers the social "fallout" of connecting with absent others - the benefits and hazards - on our societies, communities, relationships, and individual selves. The result is a comprehensive yet intimate look at social bonding as it is rarely recorded: an examination of the bonds and communities we form across great distances, and even across time, in the age of the Internet." -- Cover.
