What if your phone is doing more than distracting you? What if it's shaping your identity, your relationships, and even your sense of right and wrong?In Hooked to the Machine, readers are taken beyond the usual debates about screen time, social media, and digital addiction into a deeper and more unsettling territory: the hidden ways technology is rewiring meaning, morality, and human connection.This powerful and timely book explores how smartphones and online life have become far more than tools. They now influence how we seek purpose, build relationships, cope with loneliness, define ourselves, and navigate the world. In a culture increasingly driven by algorithms, notifications, and endless digital stimulation, technology is no longer just changing what we do; it is changing who we are.Insightful, urgent, and deeply relevant, Hooked to the Machine is for anyone who has ever felt tethered to their phone, emotionally drained by social media, or haunted by the sense that something essential is being lost in the digital age.A bold, eye-opening book about the struggle to remain fully human in a world designed to keep us plugged in.
