Cyber sick!

The digitalization of our everyday lives is progressing rapidly – with fatal consequences for body and soul. Based on new scientific studies, the renowned brain researcher Manfred Spitzer demonstrates in this critical debate book the extent to which this development threatens our health.

We become cyber-sick when we hand over control of all areas of life to digital media, spend hours playing online games, multitask in front of screens, and engage in social networks. Stress, loss of empathy, depression, as well as sleep and attention disorders are the consequences. Children are harmed in their motor skills and perception abilities. Computer addiction, internet crime, and bullying are spreading increasingly.

In his new non-fiction book, Manfred Spitzer informs about alarming patterns of illness, warns of the health dangers of digital technology, and explains how we can protect ourselves.
