Having A Child In The Digital Age

Fresh Air

About this episode

When NYT critic-at-large Amanda Hess learned her unborn child had an abnormality, she turned to the internet — but didn't find reassurance. "My relationship with technology became so much more intense," she says. She talks with Tonya Mosley about pregnancy apps, online forums, and baby gadgets. Her new book is Second Life: Having A Child In The Digital Age.

Also, Maureen Corrigan reviews Daniel Kehlmann's new novel, The Director.
