What if every tap, swipe, and scroll was rewriting who you are?
In You Were Never Just Using It, Alexander Manu shows how technology's true power lies not in devices but in the quiet transformations they spark in us. Since 1978, each innovation has been less about invention and more about absorption: desktops that reshaped work, smartphones that redefined memory, AI systems that anticipate thought. Organized in three acts--from disruptive tools, to ambient shifts, to the rise of the post-digital self--this book maps how convenience became identity and how interfaces became mirrors of our inner lives. Provocative and deeply reflective, Manu argues that technology is never just something we use; it is something that rewrites us, one unnoticed gesture at a time.
