Reclaiming the Human Element: Why We Should Listen to the "Digital Delusion"
In a world that often feels like it’s sprinting toward a fully digitized future, neuroscientist Jared Cooney Horvath’s latest work, The Digital Delusion, serves as a vital and grounded wake-up call. While it’s easy to dismiss any critique of technology as "anti-progress," Horvath’s arguments are rooted in a deeply empathetic concern for the biological and emotional well-being of the next generation.
