Douglas Rushkoff describes the condition of digiphrenia as a ‘digital order’ where technology splits us off from ourselves and requires us to simultaneously be in multiple places and times simultaneously. He focuses on the temporal trauma of the digital split. In this article, I argue digiphrenia creates a ‘divided self’ – in multiple places and yet nowhere. This digital split is a technological version of what R. D. Laing would refer to as a ‘schizoid world’
