“The short-term, dopamine-driven feedback loops that [Facebook has] created are destroying how society works. No civil discourse, no cooperation, misinformation, mistruth.”

Look behind the curtain of social media and understand the objectives of the billionaires who run them. Leave animosity, angst, and anxiety behind. This isn’t a book on shunning technology and living like a hermit. This is the instruction guide for becoming a Power User on the wild west frontier of The Internet.
Be the person you were meant to be. Leave your mark. Change the World.
Reviews
Nicholas gives us an excellent glimpse behind the proverbial tech curtain, helping us understand how and why our gadgets are designed to be so engaging. With humor and straight talk, he takes a complex problem and whittles it down into something we can easily digest. This book is an easy read, anything but preachy and one I can’t recommend enough for individual’s searching for life-tech balance.
