Description: REBOOT by Elaine Elaine Kasket, Elaine Kasket How can we live well when our time and data is being stolen; our relationships damaged and our sense of self warped – all by technology? For every stage of our lives, a leading psychologist and tech expert shows us how FORMAT Hardcover CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Technology is the mediator and middleman in nearly every relationship we have in modern life. Interwoven within the bonds between parents and kids, teachers and pupils, romantic partners, employees and bosses, midlife adults and aging parents, we are constantly making decisions about data and devices that affect not only us, but other people – often our nearest and dearest. Yet we speak as though technology is an active, powerful, unstoppable force, and we are the victims. What is this technology doing to us? people ask. But are we as helpless as we assume? In REBOOT, psychologist Elaine Kasket disrupts common assumptions and fears about technologys impact on us, unfolding a different, more empowered, more individual way of responding to technology and its challenges at every age and stage. For each phase of life, she explores how and why you may be pulled into using and thinking about technology in particular ways, even when those ways dont ultimately serve you or your relationships. Come away curious about why you use technology the way you do; clear about how those choices are really working out; and with the tools to align your technology use with the kind of life and relationships you want. When you recognise and reclaim the extent of your power, what might become possible?

Review A critical reminder that, at every stage of life, we get to choose our relationship with technology – and our choices shape our humanity. Kaskets book is a roadmap filled with generous possibilities. LUKE BURGIS, AUTHOR OF WANTINGDigital technologies arent just transforming every area of life. Theyre transforming us, and this book, examining the psychological, social and technological intersections of this transformation, couldnt be more timely. CATHERINE MAYER, AUTHOR OF GOOD GRIEFWitty, bracingly honest, deeply humane and piercingly insightful PATRICK STOKES, AUTHOR OF DIGITAL SOULS Reboot is an incredibly well researched and entertaining book. Kasket has the ability to illustrate complex research areas through engaging, human stories that often reach all the way into your heart. As a recent parent, this book really made me reevaluate the way I use technology around my family. I do research on the impact of digital technology for a living. Even so, this is undoubtedly one of the most thought-provoking books Ive read this year.
