Review
“Scott’s writing is exceptionally fine, and his cultural range extravagant... An astounding debut.”
- Sunday Times, Thought Book of the Year
“"With his joyful phrase-making and sharp eye for the follies and absurdities of wired life, Scott would be the perfect investigator to report back on what it feels like to be... uploaded."”
- Will Self, Guardian
“A probing and elegant meditation on the digital world’s ‘ways of being.’ Beyond the lovely precision of its diction and companionable voice, it is notable for its courage to write from inside the ambiguities and confusions of online life, to resist the easy pleasures of summary judgement.”
- New Statesman
“[The Four-Dimensional Human] is carefully crafted and eloquently written. . . A valuable book that brings a fresh perspective to the topic of life online and offline.”
- Jennifer Golbeck, Science
“Adds immeasurably to the burgeoning literature on what social media do to our innermost lives, relationships, and stance towards the world. [Scott] doesn’t travel on main roads―the familiar worries about technology―but rather on hidden byways marked by imagination and metaphor, where data cannot follow.”
- Carol Tavris, Times Literary Supplement
“Witty, intellectual.”
- Dane Carr, Booklist
“[An] elegant meditation.”
- Kirkus
“[A] rich phenomenology of living in the digital age and its radical reshaping of fundamental human experiences... Scott’s sharp eye for irony and great wit make this debut a lively contribution to the conversation about the effects of the Internet on society.”

A revelatory exploration of life in the digital ageSHORTLISTED FOR THE SAMUEL JOHNSON PRIZE FOR NON-FICTION 2015WINNER OF THE JERWOOD PRIZEONE OF WIRED's NON-FICTION BOOKS OF THE DECADEWe spend more time than ever online, and the digital revolution is rewiring our sense of what it means to be human. Smartphones let us live in one another's pockets, while websites advertise our spare rooms all across the world. Never before have we been so connected. Increasingly we are coaxed from the three-dimensional world around us and into the wonders of a fourth dimension, a world of digitised experiences in which we can project our idealised selves.But what does it feel like to live in constant connectivity? What new pleases and anxieties are emerging with our exposure to this networked world? How is the relationship to our bodies changing as we head deeper into digital life? Most importantly, how do we exist in public with these recoded inner lives, and how do we preserve our old ideas of isolation, disappearance and privacy on a Google-mapped planet?
