This question refers to the text The Flight from Conversation by Sherry Turkle
.
Answer:
With this phrase Turkle means that because of technology, we are all alone since every time we share less with people in a physical way and we do it more in a virtual way. But since it's something we all do, she says we're in this together. That's why she uses the phrase <em>"alone together."</em>
Explanation:
These words have a great influence on what the whole article is, since she wants to emphasize that really the vast majority of people are in this situation.
People just want to pay attention to what interests them, ignoring everything that doesn't.
This means that we all get more and more into technology and ignore the people around us, just to communicate virtually.
We are alone, but together at the same time because we remain connected even though we are immersed in technology.
Among the sentences in the excerpt from Leo Tolstoy's The Death of Ivan Ilyich, I think the statement that shows that Ivan Ilyich has realized the hypocrisy of his earlier life is: "Ivan Ilyich knows quite well and definitely that all this is nonsense and pure deception, but when the doctor, getting down on his knee, leans over him, putting his ear first higher then lower, and performs various gymnastic movements over him with a significant expression on his face, Ivan Ilyich submits to it all as he used to submit to the speeches of the lawyers, though he knew very well that they were all lying and why they were lying." This is because in his earlier life before he was terminally ill, he too also submitted to the lawyers in order to work his way up on the social ladder.

...retire as much from his chamber as from society: talking about how a man is fully in isolation if they have stopped doing both work and socialization.

and light the universe with their admonishing smile
