A novel approach to understanding technology’s role at every stage of our lives, from leading psychotherapist and cyberpsychologist Elaine Kasket.
Technology affects every interaction, shapes our identities and constantly hijacks our attention. So how can we reclaim our power and feel less helpless at every stage of our lives?
In a world full of algorithms, addictive apps and data-driven adverts, it often feels as if the digital environment is determining our behaviour. We trace our steps, track our kids and share our lives online, without really knowing whether this technology is serving our best interests – or those of the people we love.
We speak as though technology is a powerful, unstoppable force and we are the victims. 'What is this technology doing to us?' we ask. But are we as helpless as we assume?
Journeying from digital gestation to the digital afterlife, through infancy, adolescence and adulthood, Elaine Kasket connects the dots between our technology usage and the challenges it poses to our identity and development, and to our relationships and privacy.
'A critical reminder that, at every stage of life, we get to choose our relationship with technology – and our choices shape our humanity.'
Luke Burgis, author of Wanting
'Witty, bracingly honest, deeply humane and piercingly insightful.'
Patrick Stokes, author of Digital Souls
'Kasket has the ability to illustrate complex research areas through engaging, human stories that often reach all the way into your heart.'
Carl Öhman, author of The Afterlife of Data
