You wake up — and your hand reaches for your smartphone. You fall asleep while scrolling through your feed. Sound familiar? Welcome to the era of "digital dukkha," where ADHD, FOMO, FOBO, and emotional burnout become the new norm, and gadgets feel like an extension of your "Self."
The author does not suggest running into the woods and throwing away your phone. He raises the question: can Buddhism, the ancient "science of the mind," which is over 2500 years old, become an antidote to modern addictions? You will learn why your brain constantly craves "just half an hour more of social media," how to distinguish genuine Buddhist practices from New Age fakes, and why multitasking is not what it seems.
Moreover — does a neural network have a chance for enlightenment and how does humanity risk creating new circles of "digital hell" within the depths of data centers?
This book is a lively and rational conversation about how to maintain a clear mind and self-control in the midst of an informational storm, drawing on the wealth of Buddhist tradition.
