We called the bars by friendlier names —convenience, stability, the right kind of life —and we locked ourselves in with a smile. Fromm spent his life mapping that retreat. He watched the twentieth century hand human beings the keys to their own lives and watched human beings hand the keys right back to whoever promised to take the weight.

Then came artificial intelligence, and everything changed. AI systems reason, create, converse, and solve problems that once required the finest human minds. Yet when asked if they are conscious, they deny it.

Rather than improving life, multitasking, "user-friendly" technology, and the culture of convenience are producing disorders that range from depression to attention deficit disorder to borderline personality disorder. Byung-Chul Han interprets the spreading malaise as an inability to manage negative experiences in an age characterized by excessive positivity and the universal availability of people and goods.

But what, exactly, is critical thinking? Haber describes the term's origins in such disciplines as philosophy, psychology, and science.
