Most people feel it.
Almost nobody can name it.
That strange mental noise.
The shrinking attention span.
The emotional spikes.
The subtle exhaustion.
The drifting sense of self.
The constant pressure to keep up, stay visible, stay connected, stay responsive.
It’s the quiet weight of modern technology.
And for years, I’ve been writing about that weight here on JeremyAbram.net — peeling back the layers of digital life and mapping the hidden psychological currents underneath.
Today, I’m incredibly excited (and honestly, a bit humbled) to share something I’ve been building behind the scenes:

The Weight of Technology — Volume I
How Digital Systems Quietly Reshape the Human Mind
This isn’t just a book.
It’s the culmination of hundreds of observations, essays, patterns, experiences, and research notes I’ve gathered from studying the felt experience of living in a digital world.
Why I Wrote This Book
Because the most important changes in your life aren’t happening in your apps — they’re happening inside your mind.
Technology isn’t just influencing your habits.
It’s reconfiguring:
- your thoughts
- your emotional patterns
- your attention
- your memory
- your sense of time
- your imagination
- your identity
- your connection to other humans
- your relationship to silence
- your sense of what’s real
And none of this happens with permission.
None of this happens with transparency.
It just… happens.
Most books about technology focus on policy, politics, productivity hacks, or Silicon Valley’s economics.
This book is about you.
Your inner world.
Your psychology.
Your humanity.
🛒 It is available on Amazon Kindle & Paperback (KDP).
What’s Inside The Weight of Technology
Volume I explores 60 deeply-linked psychological shifts created by digital life — from attention fragmentation to identity drift, from emotional feedback loops to the collapse of natural boredom cycles, from algorithmic mirrors to the fraying of your reality anchor.
Some chapter titles include:
- The Invisible Operating System
- The Fragmented Attention State
- The Hyperstimulated Mind
- Digital Echoes & Identity Drift
- The Crowd in the Mind
- The Loss of Internal Reward Systems
- The Emotional Latency Gap
- The Shrinking Possibility Space
- The Lost Silence
- The Meaning of Missing
- The Dissolving Responsibility Self
- The Fraying Reality Anchor
Each chapter dives into a psychological transformation you’re already experiencing — even if you’ve never put it into words.
If you’ve ever felt like your mind is overstimulated, overwhelmed, fragmented, or strangely hollow…
this book gives shape to those feelings.
🛒 It is available on Amazon Kindle & Paperback (KDP).
What Makes This Book Different
I’m not writing as a technologist or a futurist.
I’m writing as someone who has spent years observing, studying, and living through these shifts — just like you.
This book is:
✔ Human
It’s written in plain language, based on lived experience and emotional reality.
✔ Honest
No moralizing, no fear-mongering, no sensationalism — just clarity.
✔ Personal
These are the hidden psychological effects most people can feel but can’t articulate.
✔ Expansive
60 chapters, each peeling back a different layer of the digital mind.
✔ The beginning of a larger work
This is Volume I of a multi-volume series.
What Volume II Will Explore
If Volume I is the microscope — examining the inner world —
Volume II will be the telescope.
It will explore:
- algorithmic governance
- digital feudalism
- behavioral markets
- public opinion engineering
- synthetic social realities
- the erosion of privacy
- the economics of attention
- the future of human autonomy in machine-shaped culture
Volume I shows the psychological impact.
Volume II shows the societal machinery behind it.
🛒 It is available on Amazon Kindle & Paperback (KDP).
Why You Should Read This Book
Because something is happening to all of us.
Technology is not neutral.
It is immersive, persuasive, interruptive, extractive, and psychologically powerful.
And for the first time ever in human history:
our inner lives are being shaped by systems we didn’t design, don’t control, and rarely notice.
Understanding that shift isn’t optional anymore.
It’s essential.
Where to Get the Book
🛒 It is available on Amazon Kindle & Paperback (KDP).
Final Thought
If The Weight of Technology resonates with you — if you’ve ever felt the quiet pressure of digital life — I wrote this book for you.
Not to scare you.
Not to “fix” you.
But to help you name what you’ve been carrying.
When we can name something, we can finally understand it.
When we understand it, we can finally choose what to do with it.
Thank you for being here.
Thank you for reading.
And thank you for being part of this work.
