A New Yorker Best Book of 2024, The Right to Oblivion is a groundbreaking contribution to the ongoing conversation about the value of privacy in today's hypermediated world. Author Ben Tarnoff of The New Yorker praises the book for its "radiantly original" approach to a conversation that desperately needs new thinking. The Right to Oblivion offers a visionary reexamination of the value of privacy, not just as a political right but as the key to a life worth living. In our hyperconnected era, where our lives are increasingly being surveilled and turned into data, many of us wonder if it is still possible to live a private life or if it is no longer worth fighting for. The book argues that privacy is not just a right to be protected but a tool for making life meaningful. It deepens our relationships with others and ourselves, reinforcing our capacities for agency, trust, play, self-discovery, and growth. Without privacy, the world would grow shallow, lonely, and inhospitable. Drawing inspiration from a range of philosophical and artistic sources, Pressly shows why we all need a refuge from the world: not a place to hide, but a psychic space beyond the confines of our everyday lives.
