Wired Minds: Reverse Psychology and Manipulation in the Digital Age (Paperback)
A high-signal read built around digital manipulation, psychology, media influence, algorithm bias. It feels current because it aligns with read, 2026, excerpt, yet timeless because it focuses on fundamentals.
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 read, 2026 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.
I read one section during a coffee break and ended up rewriting my plan for the week. The psychology part hit that hard. (Side note: if you like WebGPU (Graphics and Compute) API in 20 Minutes (Coffee Break Series), you’ll likely enjoy this too.)
