Any good books on internet addiction?

>> No.11433932

I'm also interested. The internet has ruined my life. I could be using it for good but I'm using it for porn and shitposting.

so I tried to give up the net for 2 days and realized how shitty it is. theres no information iv. you no longer get constant data fed to you. I concluded this addiction is a nevessary evoltuionary state and going back is like being a caveman.

You are literally on a board about discussing books.
If you want more information, read a book you brainlet.

most books are mainly filler, you can get everything out of them by article summaries, and archives of /lit/ or reddit discussions

Sounds faggoty, but I think taking a lot of small steps to eliminate constant feedback/stimulation in your life makes it easier to wean yourself off idle internet browsing. This includes things like not listening to an iPod in public; not looking at your phone in public (or even taking your phone with you unless you really need it); not reading or doing anything on the bus/train except looking out the window and thinking for yourself, etc.
