Oma uues raamatus „e-armastus“ räägib Erik Tohvri tänapäeva inimeste võõrandumisest üksteisest, millele aitab kaasa ka nn sotsiaalmeedia. Autor kirjeldab sageli halenaljakaid olukordi, millesse võivad sattuda inimesed, kes suhtlevad üksteisega peamiselt või ainult interneti teel, n-ö silmast silma nägemata. Tehnoloogia arengut siiski ei rünnata, vaid esitatakse küsimus, kust jookseb selle kasutamise piir ja mil määral see mõjutab inimelusid ja -saatusi.
