@OnlineBookClub Faithless, hopeless, disembodied, dissociated, depersonalized, derealized, and we come back to the foundational premise first noted by Freud, and held firmly by the psychoanalysts ever since. Namely, that no one is mentally well.
@OnlineBookClub We (mistakenly, but necessarily) believe that they, somehow, have some measure of control over the Leviathan. We otherwise stand helpless before the abyss of the cyberverse, cast forth into Cyberia, adrift within the maelstrom of the id.
@OnlineBookClub Now, at a time when technology has rocketed past humanity’s neurologic ability to comprehend it, we have in fact notably re-gressed. We stand in awe before our Silicon Valley masters and mistresses.
@OnlineBookClub Pass it along, and keep on passing it. There is no other book out there right now as comprehensive as this on digital mental health. Look for the companion piece as well, Reconceptualizing Mental Illness in the Viral Age, also through OBC.
@OnlineBookClub @CamScholars Thank you, OBC! The book is free today, so no reason not to buy it. These are the most pressing mental health issues right now, and anyone with an interest in wellness and good health will hopefully find it worthwhile.
Book of the Day, August 22nd – Nonfiction, Rated 5 stars

@TwBookClub This really is a necessary project. Techno-psychopathologies are now all around us. They comprise in fact the neuro-exhausting matrix crushing our mental well-being. The question, of course, is what can we do about it?
@TwBookClub I want to once again thank Scott and Nisha and everyone at Online Book Club for their ongoing support and efforts. They continue to be wonderful to work with! Thank you!
