Digital Ruptures, Real Pains

In an era where artificial intelligence and social media permeate every moment, our societies are tilting toward a connected universe that is as fascinating as it is exhausting. This mini book decodes the paradoxes of this revolution : surging anxiety, deepfake fuelled scams, the exponential build up of electronic waste and persistent inequalities in digital access. It also reveals how AI, while boosting productivity, is widening social and economic gaps.
Drawing on recent studies and reports (WHO, Pew Research, Global E Waste Monitor, Eurobarometer, Gartner), the book analyses the rise of generative AI, the digital fatigue linked to telework, emerging right to disconnect laws and European policies on data protection and child safety. Alongside this assessment it proposes actions : media literacy, voluntary disconnection, recycling electronic waste and ethical AI regulation.
An indispensable synthesis for turning digital ruptures into human centred opportunities.
