    Against a backdrop of increasingly intrusive technologies, Trine Syvertsen explores the digital detox phenomenon and the politics of disconnection from invasive media. With a wealth of examples, the book demonstrates how self-regulation online is practiced and delves into how it has also become an expression of resistance in the 21st century.

    Against a backdrop of increasingly intrusive technologies, this book explores the digital detox phenomenon and the politics of disconnection from invasive media. With a wealth of examples, Syvertsen demonstrates how self-regulation online is practiced and delves into how it has also become an expression of resistance in the 21st century.


    Providing a rich account of how users reduce their online engagement through time-limitations, restrictions on smartphone use, productivity apps, and use of analogue media, the author reveals how the practice of digital detoxing goes beyond a growing culture of self-help.
