Dopamine Bandits: How Technology is Creating a Dystopian World
Jitin NairDopamine-the wonder chemical which is released by our brain in anticipation of a reward is the key to our habits. Silicon Valley engineers use this psychological vulnerability to design their products to be addictive. Over the years there has been an explosion in the usage of smartphones. And with more than a billion devices being used every minute, it brings with it some unintended and many intended consequences.
We have been hooked on to our devices by using clever and subtle, yet some insidious psychological techniques which exploit our human vulnerabilities, all in the name of generating more and more profits. This increasing time being spent on screen has led to many lifestyle diseases, relationships being destroyed and also led us to ask what it really means to be human.
The increasing power of just a handful of companies, that now come to dominate the internet, is slowly shaping our future for the benefit of very few at the expense of the whole human civilization.
This book is for all those who are concerned with the ever increasing power of these internet giants seeking to control our behaviour. Those who want to understand how these companies use certain manipulative tactics to hook us and gain more of our attention without conscious consent. With more power comes some insidious ambitions and at stake is our democracy and our future.
Are we turning our future into a dystopian world of mass control?
