Publisher's Synopsis
People Are Careless: A Wake-Up Call on the Misconceptions of Tech and Social Media
"A gripping, thought-provoking, and deeply urgent exploration of the digital age... Elena Wren-Wallace unpacks the hidden consequences of our online lives with razor-sharp insight and undeniable truth."
We were promised connection, freedom, and endless possibilities. Instead, we got surveillance, manipulation, and a world that feels more disconnected than ever.
In People Are Careless, Elena Wren-Wallace delivers a riveting, eye-opening exposé on the illusions of technology and the hidden costs of our digital dependence. With a sharp, engaging voice and an unflinching look at the way social media shapes our behavior, she exposes the ways in which we have been misled, exploited, and conditioned to surrender our time, privacy, and even our sense of reality.
From the addictive mechanics of social platforms to the silent erosion of deep relationships, this book unravels the myths we've been sold about technology-why we embrace it without question, how it controls us more than we control it, and what we must do to reclaim our minds and lives.
Wren-Wallace takes readers on a gripping and often unsettling journey, weaving together research, real-world examples, and hard-hitting truths to challenge the way we engage with social media and digital culture. She sheds light on the mental, emotional, and societal consequences of living in an attention economy-where our focus is currency, and our lives have become products.
But this is not just a book about the problem-it is a call to action. A wake-up call.
For those who have ever felt trapped in endless scrolling, for those who have questioned why social media leaves them feeling anxious and distracted, and for those who want to take back control of their time, privacy, and mental clarity-this book is for you.
You are not just a user. You are the product. And it's time to change that.
