It was a mirror. A stage. A school. A hiding place. A home that never turned the lights off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eRaised by the Internet\u003c\/b\u003e is a deeply personal and culturally timely memoir about growing up online and trying to become real again. Susan S Spark traces the emotional life of a generation that learned to perform before it learned to belong, to curate before it learned to be honest, and to stay connected while quietly becoming lonely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is not an anti-technology book. It is a book about what happens when digital life enters the most private parts of development: identity, friendship, ambition, attention, memory, desire, self-worth, and love. With warmth, vulnerability, and sharp cultural insight, Spark examines the hidden cost of always being reachable, visible, searchable, and judged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThrough intimate reflection and research-informed storytelling, \u003cb\u003eRaised by the Internet\u003c\/b\u003e explores the uneasy space between the person we become online and the person we are when no one is watching. It asks why so many people feel exhausted by connection, why adulthood can feel emotionally fragmented after years of digital performance, and why the search for authenticity now feels less like nostalgia and more like survival.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor readers navigating digital burnout, loneliness, social media fatigue, AI companionship, screen dependence, or the ache of wanting a more present life, this memoir offers recognition, language, and hope.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is a story about the internet.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBut more than that, it is a story about becoming human again.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Independently Published","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47892980465815,"sku":"9798195965938","price":1316.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9798195965938.webp?v=1781190680","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/raised-by-the-internet-a-memoir-of-growing-up-online-and-trying-to-become-real-again-9798195965938","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
