About The Book

Pixelated Souls is a fascinating deep dive into the complex relationship between technology and human psychology. From the dopamine traps of social media to the silent erosion of deep conversations, from AI’s growing influence to the blurring lines between digital and real-life identities—this book uncovers how modern technology is rewiring our instincts, behaviours, and even our sense of self.

What if technology wasn’t just changing how we live—but who we are?

We wake up to glowing screens, let algorithms decide what we see, and reach for our phones before even saying good morning to the person next to us. Our thoughts, emotions, and choices are being quietly reshaped, pixel by pixel. But have we ever stopped to question what’s really happening?

Inside This Book, You’ll Discover:

🔹 Why smart technology is making us dumber—and what we can do about it.
🔹 The hidden cost of digital convenience—from shrinking attention spans to rising anxiety.

🔹 The illusion of choice—are we really making decisions, or are they being made for us?

🔹 Why our deepest fears and desires are now data points for profit.

🔹 How does technology manipulate our emotions, attention, and choices?
🔹 What happens when virtual relationships feel more real than physical ones?
🔹 Can we harness technology without losing the very things that make us human?

With sharp insights, engaging storytelling, and a mix of research and personal experiences, Abhinav Gaurav takes readers on a thought-provoking journey through the past, present, and future of human-technology interaction. This is not a book that demonises progress—it’s a wake-up call to reclaim agency in a world where distraction is the new default.

If you’ve ever felt trapped in an endless scroll, questioned your reliance on digital devices, or wondered about the long-term impact of our hyper-connected world—this book is for you.
