Digital Demons: The Psychology of Modern Addictions

By S. Jack Olszewski

"Digital Demons: The Psychology of Modern Addictions" is a sharp look at the subtle ways in which modern technologies affect our attention, emotions, and behaviors. It portrays the "digital demon" not as a monster but as a subtle, engineered force that sneaks into everyday life through notifications, endless feeds, and the promise of quick relief. The book is based on psychology and explains how tech systems exploit universal human needs (curiosity, belonging, and reward) while slowly automating our behavior. Ultimately, it's a hopeful book: an invitation to take back the space between stimulus and response, to harness technology consciously, and to turn the demon from a silent manipulator into a disciplined ally that strengthens personal freedom.
