About The Book

Can we reclaim our brains from the algorithm?

In Artificial Dopamine: Digital Content Trap, this uncovers the science behind why we can’t stop scrolling—and how it is reshaping the minds of an entire generation.

From the variable rewards of the “infinite scroll” to the subtle mechanics of the attention economy, this book reveals how digital platforms hijack our natural dopamine systems. It goes beyond buzzwords like “brain rot” to explore the deeper neurobiological and developmental impacts on adolescents, children, and future society.

Inside, you will learn:

• How dopamine really works in the brain—and why social media feels like a slot machine

• What “brain rot” actually is, and how constant scrolling fragments attention and memory

• The links between heavy digital use, anxiety, sleep disruption, and mood problems

• Why developing brains (0–25) are uniquely vulnerable to content traps

• Practical strategies for digital detox, deep work, and building true digital resilience

Artificial Dopamine is not a manifesto against technology. It is a clear, research‑based guide for anyone who wants to understand what today’s platforms are doing to our brains—and how to reclaim focus, agency, and mental well‑being.
