deTour 2025 Creative Voice Design Dialogue - deTour's Book Club: The Lonely Century

deTour's Book Club: The Lonely Century deTour Book Club: The Lonely Century We live in an era of unprecedented connectivity, yet we are immersed in unprecedented loneliness. Social media has accustomed us to wearing masks, hiding our true selves in digital interactions, which in turn creates greater distance between people. The book The Lonely Century accurately captures this contemporary condition. Using the book as a starting point, this book club will explore modern loneliness and the fluidity of identity from psychological, social, and philosophical perspectives. Why do we constantly switch between different personas in virtual and real-life spaces? Why does a hyper-connected society make it harder to form genuine relationships? Join writer Eva Wong in conversation with Peter Chan, Managing Director of TreeholeHK, rediscover what it means to be truly connected – to others, and to ourselves.
