THAT RADICAL 'A harrowing but important read' Carole Cadwalladr We live in a digital world.
In the 30 years since we've been online we've created connections crossed boundaries and
discovered new worlds. We have done things generations before us could never have imagined.
But at what cost? Growing up as a Gen Z Adele spent endless hours as a teenager on social
media shaping her view of herself and the world. As a freelance journalist she has used her
social media platforms and digital technology to develop a career in an unfamiliar and
competitive industry benefitting from the opportunities that these spaces can offer. But after
losing her sister to online harms she realised that our current digital world is failing us.
We are an anxious and discontent generation. Our lived realities and our online vulnerabilities
are inextricably linked and this means big business for social media tycoons who want us to
stay scrolling at any cost. As Big Tech barons make their billions capitalising on our
emotions instincts insecurities and desires everyday people are losing out. From workers
being fired by algorithms to online forums dedicated to revenge porn and encouraging suicide
to censorship of marginalised voices and the turbulent impacts of AI Logging Off reveals that
our digital world is currently fuelling crises that only empathy agency and humanity can
resolve. This book is a call for a radical reclamation of our digital world for a more humane
future that empowers us all. 'Poignant timely and astute Logging Off is a compelling
examination of how our lives have been shaped - and irrevocably changed - by the rise of
digital technologies' Yomi Adegoke author of THE LIST
