Technology doesn’t just organize our lives: it’s reorganizing our minds.

We live permanently connected. We sleep with our phones next to us, we work in front of screens, we get our news from social media, and we make everyday decisions using artificial intelligence. The digital world is no longer just an external environment: it’s the place where we live psychologically.

From the perspective of cyberpsychology, the discipline that studies how technology transforms the mind, behavior, and emotional life, Ariadna Vilalta analyzes how algorithms are reconfiguring attachment, attention, desire, self-esteem, truth, and critical thinking. It’s an idea as uncomfortable as it is urgent: we’re not just using technology, it’s shaping us. And understanding this impact is no longer optional; it’s a psychological, educational, and social necessity.

With a clear and rigorous approach, this essay addresses one of the great challenges of our time: understanding the invisible mechanisms that influence us in order to recover mental autonomy in an era designed to make us lose it.

It’s not a book to switch off to; it’s a book to encourage slow, thoughtful reflection. It’s not a book against technology; it’s a book in favor of understanding it before it decides for us.
