‘Digital technologies aren’t just transforming every area of life; they’re transforming us. This book couldn’t be more timely.’ Catherine Mayer, author of Good Grief.

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. But are we as helpless as we assume?

In Reboot, leading psychotherapist and cyberpsychologist Elaine Kasket offers a new 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.

Via discussions of ‘sharenting’, surveillance and social media, Kasket reveals how we consistently underestimate our power to shape our relationships with and through technology. She invites us to question auto-pilot approaches and instead move forward in a more deliberate, mindful and empowered way.
