Publisher's Synopsis
In her book, Stella Ferrari, born in Jesi in 2007, offers a unique and genuine perspective on the hidden dangers lurking behind our smartphone screens. The teenage author explores, with depth and surprising wisdom, the negative effects of constant digital connection and the media frenzy that now shape the lives of both young people and adults.
Through personal experiences, research, and honest insights, Stella invites us to reflect on FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) and how this condition affects our lives, relationships, and mental health.
*Hopelessly Connected* is a unique book, initially written with the help of AI to save time and avoid spending too much in front of a PC or tablet, and later humanized by someone who has painfully experienced FOMO firsthand, like Sara C. It may seem unusual, but here, technology is used to help us spend less time on computers and mobile devices. This writing method is drawing interest from critics and thousands of readers.
