Digital Cancer

The book Digital Cancer by Ladislav Boldi deals with one of the most pressing problems of our time – the excessive use of digital technologies and their impact on the human psyche and society. The author uses the metaphor of “cancer” to describe how digital addiction subtly spreads through our lives, metastasising into our privacy and destroying our ability to concentrate.

In the text, Boldi analyses the psychological mechanisms behind addiction to social networks and smartphones. He dissects the concept of the “attention economy”, the influence of dopamine on human behaviour, and the ways in which algorithms manipulate our emotions. However, the book does not stop at just describing the problem. In the second part, it offers readers concrete tools and strategies for establishing digital hygiene, improving mental health, and returning to a conscious experience of reality.

The work is intended for anyone who wants to understand the influence of modern technologies on people and is looking for a path to a more balanced lifestyle in the online age.

Key themes of the book:

Addiction: How technology exploits human biology. Attention: The loss of the ability to concentrate (deep work). Relationships: The superficiality of online communication vs. real contact. Solutions: Guides to digital minimalism.
