Reboot

In Reboot: Reclaiming Your Life in a Tech-Obsessed World, leading psychotherapist and cyberpsychologist Elaine Kasket offers a novel approach to understanding technology' s role at every stage of our lives.Journeying from digital gestation to the digital afterlife, through infancy, adolescence and adulthood, Kasket connects the dots between our technology usage and the challenges it poses to our identity and development, and to our relationships and privacy, as our lives unfold.Via discussions of sharenting, surveillance and social media – prioritising our phones over our partners, baby monitors over the actual baby and data over real-world experience – Kasket reveals how we consistently underestimate our power to shape our relationships with and through technology. Instead, she invites us to challenge the auto-pilot approach that many of us adopt and move forward in a more deliberate, mindful and empowered way.
