Mapping the Inner World

Naomi Alderman considers the way that the internet and digital communication have changed our world, offering us huge amounts of information, very fast.

Naomi reflects on the speed and scale of the internet; the sense of community and equality it can create but also the current dangers of misinformation, group-think, and ultimately, the threat to truth. The psychological effects on individuals are profound: ‘it’s not stupid to be anxious or to feel that truth is under attack’ argues Naomi ‘We’re learning that truth is extremely complex. It’s hard to bear’.

Written and read by Naomi Alderman, produced by Di Speirs.
