Russ Roberts brought up the title on EconTalk while interviewing Sherry Turkle, discussing the psychological harms of constantly avoiding boredom through digital distraction. Dwight Garner mentioned the book on The Book Review while listing Turkle's major works on technology and modern communication. Tristan Harris also cited Reclaiming Conversation on The Joe Rogan Experience alongside her other writings to illustrate how humans increasingly substitute digital tools and bots for authentic face-to-face interaction.
