When Sophie’s first daughter was born, her husband, a tech entrepreneur who swears by the power of Silicon Valley to improve all our lives, starting bringing home baby-related tech gadgets: next generation monitors, heart rate bands, apps that tracked this or that metric, all allegedly with the purpose of reassuring you that your child was thriving, and you were doing fine as a parent. Of course, they only succeeded in driving Sophie totally nuts, so, in an effort to get to the bottom of which tech can help, which can hurt, and which should be shoved in the freezer until the new millennium, she started calling up experts. The result, Baby, Unplugged, is a personal story of the first few years of parenthood, buttressed by reporting and analysis that clearly, and with humor, lays out what we’re losing when we rely on tech, where it can be implemented successfully, and what the future of parenting might look like. Her second daughter came along just after she sold the book proposal, and joined her older sister in being a gracious guinea pig.
