Is the self of Rousseau’s Confessions the same as the self of the selfie? Damon Young’s project examines aspects of Web 2.0 culture that suggest that the 21st-century self is no longer “private” or “interior” in the same way as the self that earlier expressed itself in the autobiography and the novel.
