Synopsis
Young adults (and plenty of not-so-young adults) are addicted to the Internet. No surprise there. It's easy for parents and teachers, politicians and pundits to brush off Internet addiction as a harmless, inevitable consequence of the digital age, a small price to pay for carrying the information super-highway around in our pockets. But what if I told you that young adults (and plenty of not-so-young adults) are stuck in a feedback loop of digital sexual stimulation, addicted not just to the Internet but to pornography and social media?
And what if I told you that the consequences of these addictions may be quite dire--ranging from depression, anxiety and ADHD to sexual dysfunction and violence? And what if I told you that, as far as social media companies and pornography producers and anyone who advertises on the Internet is concerned, the feedback loop is exactly where we belong?
This book pulls readers out of the matrix. Part manifesto, part autobiography, part self-help roadmap, Breaking the Feedback Loop is a concise, essential guide to porn and social media addiction written for young adults and anyone else suffering at the hands of the Internet.

Review
"This is a story of awakening...from the trance induced by all the harmless-seeming distractions of the Internet (social media, news feeds, porn). Turner does a highly readable job of sharing precisely how he unleashed his productivity and creativity. Best of all, anyone can follow the trail Turner blazes in his book. Why not make your own experiment?" Gary Wilson, Author of Your Brain on Porn
"Trapped In The Web is a must-read book about an issue that is the challenge of our generation: internet addiction. Not only is A.N. Turner able to grab the attention of teens and young adults by sharing his own compelling story of addiction, his tips for how to overcome such a powerful dependency are relevant for all ages and help to take the shame out of the struggle." The Other F Word Podcast: Conversations About Failure.
Turner uncovers how software is intentionally programed to addict users to click more, more clicks more profit. The *porn* consumer is the product they sell, pimping their data as the consumer gets consumed. The more you use, the more you loose. Read this book and get free.
