Wired Minds: Reverse Psychology and Manipulation in the Digital Age (Paperback)
If you want practical clarity, this is a strong pick: digital manipulation, psychology, media influence, algorithm bias presented in a way that turns into decisions, not just notes.
ISBN: 9798290303895 Published: May 12, 2025 digital manipulation, psychology, media influence, algorithm bias, online behavior
What you’ll learn
Build confidence with media influence-level practice.
Spot patterns in media influence faster.
Turn online behavior into repeatable habits.
Connect ideas to 2026, read without the overwhelm.
Who it’s for
Students who need structure and memorable examples. Skimmers and deep divers both win—chapters work standalone.
How to use it
Skim the headings, then re-read only what sparks a decision. Bonus: end sessions mid-paragraph to make restarting easy.
A friend asked what I learned and I could actually explain it—because the algorithm bias chapter is built for recall.
