Intimate Speakers Book (Paperback)

“What’s on your mind?”
“What’s happening?”
Do you often find yourself answering these questions on social media?
Do you often update your current status on WhatsApp?
Are you more connected to the virtual world than the real world?
Are you . . . an Introvert?
Welcome to the Connected Space
In the age of social media, where intimacy has found a new course, the introverts and ostracized citizens, including women, queer and the Dalit, have broken down the enforced social hierarchies, conventional norms and class divisions.
Intimate Speakers is an account of Biju’s social media encounters with these citizens, as they came forward and shared their intimate stories. They have not only found an alternative political existence in cyberspace, but are actively using social media to bring about significant changes in the society and overall social structure.
