Description: Disconnect by Jordan Guiao Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Paperback Condition Brand New Description Many of us know an anti-vaxxer or a selfie-obsessed narcissist who clutters our social feeds; an online conspiracy theorist or a child whose face is buried in a smartphone. Some of us even live with one. How do we pull these people back from the brink of a digital abyss? In this compelling account, researcher Jordan Guiao reveals what happens when we fall into online addiction and radicalisation. He speaks to Covid-19 freedom fighters, QAnon conspiracists, social media egoists, online gamers and mens rights activists, tracing their path into obsession and how they found their way out. Drawing on psychology, neuroscience and research on addiction, he prompts us to ask: how can we use the tools that connect us to stop isolating us? And what should our governments do to protect us?In an age of online outrage and social media schisms, where Big Tech tracks our every click, it is time for a conversation about how to use the internet safely and for social good. Lets stop the disconnect and create an online world we can all be proud of. Author Biography Jordan Guiao is a research fellow at The Australia Institutes Centre for Responsible Technology. A former digital strategist at the ABC and head of social media at SBS, he is the co-editor (with Peter Lewis) of The Public Square Project.
