Abstract

In my 4,150-word review essay "Jonathan Haidt's 2024 Book The Anxious Generation, and Walter J. Ong's Thought," I start with brief highlights of the life and work of the American Jesuit Renaissance specialist and cultural historian and pioneering media ecology theorist Walter J. Ong (1912-2003; Ph.D. in English, Harvard University, 1955). Then I highlight Jonathan Haidt's new 2024 book The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness (Penguin Press). In addition, I include a digression about Nicholas Carr's updated 2020 second edition of his book The Shallows: What the Internet Is Doing to Our Brains (W. W. Norton).
