The Assassination of Innocence in the Internet Age

About this book

Entesar Attia examines the quiet damage unfolding behind the screens that rarely leave our hands. The promised global village has also produced closed rooms in which children lose confidence and identity, spouses retreat into secret digital lives, and crowded homes become places of isolation and depression. Moving from cyberbullying and algorithmic addiction to the idea of a restorative “digital fast,” the author combines social observation, psychological insight, and practical concern for the family. The book does more than sound an alarm: it proposes a route back. Parents are encouraged to understand the virtual world's hidden pressures, protect children's innocence, and replace passive surrender with deliberate boundaries. Technology need not remain the master of family life; properly governed, it can become a tool for learning, connection, and a safer future.
