I'm torn. On the one hand, I agree. On the other hand, I wouldn't have found this Neal Stephenson post if it wasn't for social media.

  I came across a reference to it while reading the first chapter of Deep Work by Cal Newport [0]. For anybody interested in distraction free work, it seems to be quite a good book (can't give a thorough review, I'm still at the beginning). I enjoyed reading his blog so far.

    I'm making this book my Bible for getting stuff done in 2016. Social media = crack.

      Ironically, for me, re-reading Neal Stephenson's novels is one of my biggest crack-like time-wasters.
