Book Choice: Closer Together, Further Apart

I started my search on Amazon.com and looked up terms such as "social media's effect on society" and "social technology and society." Eventually I came up with 3 candidates for my book choice: Closer Together, Further Apart, Alone Together: Why We Expect More From Technology and Less From Each Other, and Technocreep: The Surrender of Privacy and the Capitalization of Intimacy. I then went to WorldCat to look up how many libraries carried the books and their related subjects. Next I went to Google Books to see whether they were in the public domain and whether they had any reviews through Google. The last site I browsed was Library Thing for popularity.

After researching these books through many different filters I've decided to choose Closer Together, Further Apart. Although it clearly doesn't have the same popularity as Alone Together, it has a more recent publishing date, good reviews, and the book summary seems intriguing. I did not find any scholarly reviews through my database searches.
