Timandra Harkness is a broadcaster, writer and comedian. Her new book is called, "Technology is Not the Problem" out from HarperCollins on the 23rd of May. We discuss the relationship between tech, identity and society and decide whether tech's been unfairly blamed for our culture of narcissism. How are people using tech to navigate their quest for identity and a firm sense of self in a world where "all that is solid melts into air"?
