Very underwhelmed. It's frustratingly unclear what Smee is trying to say. He refers to a bevy of artists, philosophers, and writers, which is all very nice, but without really adding anything or attempting to synthesise the assembly of diverse into something even approaching a cogent argument.

This was an interesting essay, and I liked it's overall message. That being said I think it got lost to some degree in the exploration of the self and didn't explore so much of how that changes in the digital age. The conclusion did a good job of drawing these themes together, but I would've like to have read more about the complexity in the relationship between these two ideas.

Essential reading for anyone who has ever thought about how they use social media and what its more personal effect on us all is. Also recommend to anyone who just likes dope art criticism.
