Description

Our society has a technology problem. Many want to disconnect from screens but struggle to do so. The lines between work and leisure time are increasingly blurred, leaving individuals feeling powerless to control their online usage. The book Unwired: Gaining Control over Addictive Technologies offers a solution by shifting the moral responsibility for solutions to corporations. Drawing lessons from the tobacco and food industries, it demonstrates why government regulation is necessary to curb technology addiction. The author argues that a grassroots movement already in action across courts and legislative halls provides a blueprint for change. By examining the role of corporations in shaping our online habits, Unwired provides a compelling case for reform. This book offers a timely and thought-provoking exploration of the impact of technology on society, and how we can regain control over our digital lives.
