My new book is [finally!] out! Titled You Are NOT Here With Me, here is the description from the book jacket:
From the bestselling author of Evangeline, Alive and Well, comes a timely, important book about the perils of technology and social media addiction that will resonate with millions of readers around the world, a "Light in the Attic" for a new generation of Millennials.
Part poetry collection, part essay and social commentary, You Are Not Here With Me tackles the world's almost-crippling addiction to smart phone technology and social media, creating a society that has become distant, isolated, uncaring and completely self-absorbed.
With incredible insight, Miguel Dante captures perfectly a "selfie" of the times in which we all live, a stunning, often frightening, sometimes hilarious portrait of the world today that will be recognized instantly by people across the globe.
You Are Not Here With Me is certain to be one of the most-talked about books of the year.
#JoinTheRevolution
I wrote the book as a response to the endless "smartphone zombies" I encounter, absolutely every day. (I'm including myself as a zombie from time to time, too). Do you know someone who spends an inordinate amount of time scrolling mindlessly through their phone as life passes them by? Do you know someone who would rather engage in their phone than engage in a real-life conversation? How about someone who takes and posts endless selfies on social media? Or someone who yabbers loudly and endlessly on their phone in public? They all make an appearance in the book.
I saved the darkest side of me for the final chapter of the book, my short story Dark Traffic, which is guaranteed to make you think twice before giving in to the temptation of smartphone distraction! After reading Just One Second you won't even glance at your phone while behind the wheel of a car! Political Argument says everything there is to say about the current political scene in this country, and The Machine Waits will make you look at technology in an entirely different light.
You Are NOT Here With Me is available through Amazon at the following link: amzn.to/2vKofGk
