Petros Levounis, an authority on addiction who's been an early voiceon the intersection of addiction and technology, and James Sherer areuniquely well-suited to the task, and they have recruited an impressive listof contributors who write thoughtfully, eloquently, and authoritatively ontheir respective topics. The 10 chapters address the different kinds oftechnological addiction, as well as how they manifest and impact particularpopulations.

Although seeminglyharmless, even social media can become addictive, as people create onlinepersonae that may confuse and undermine both their sense of self and theirsense of connectedness to the world, leading to anxiety, depression,impulsivity, and ADHD. The book helps readers distinguish between healthyand pathological social media use and explores treatment options for thelatter. Technology is an integral factor in what has become known as"information overload," which is associated with decreased performance andjob satisfaction, work-related stress, social isolation, impaired sleep,relationship issues, and other problems.
