It is the predictable output of a system designed to extract emotional energy from you and return very little in exchange. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAnger is no longer a side effect of the internet.

It maps the mechanisms - algorithmic, psychological, social - that keep you scrolling long after you wanted to stop. Then it gives you the tools to operate differently. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou will learn how to recognise manufactured outrage in real time, how to build an emotional firewall against extraction, and how to reclaim agency in an environment built to remove it. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is not a book that will make you feel righteous.
