New types of distraction, self-observation, and control into our societies are an epochal challenge. Following Bernard Stiegler's concept of pharmacology, Heidenreich and Weber-Stein propose to view these new forms as digital pharmaka. Properly dosed, they can enable new self-relationships and forms of sociality; but, there is risk of intoxication.
