Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references (pages 261-272). Summary:  " (...) In 'Digital Madness,' Dr. Nicholas Kardaras reveals the toxic impact of our tech obsession and corrosive social media, especially on teenagers and young adults. As we've become mad for our devices, our devices increasingly have been driving us mad. Social media platforms -- Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, as well as Google's search algorithms -- are designed to create extremes of emotion, addictive dependency, and depression-inducing sedentary isolation. These platforms also shape the way we think and the way that we process information into beinary, black-and-white choices. Such polarized thinking is dangerous for politics and our society, and symptomatic of serious mental disorders. We've been manipulated and driven insane by a 'New Technocracy' of modern-day robber barons motivated by greed and hubris. But there is a solution. Dr. Kardaras explains how classical philosophy that encourage resilience, critical thinking, and the pursuit of genuine purpose in our lives can restore us to sanity. 'Digital Madness' reveals the toxic and addicting impact of Big Tech, and shows how to break free from it."--Jacket..
