Synopsis :

Unpacking the emotional toll of constant connectivity, this book reframes digital exhaustion as a defining experience of our times.

Overflowing inboxes, relentless Zoom calls, and the constant buzz of notifications--daily life in digital culture is increasingly shaped by fatigue and overwhelm. This timely and urgent edited collection introduces digital exhaustion as a conceptual lens to critically examine the growing entanglement of digital technologies with everyday life, both personal and professional. Drawing on interdisciplinary perspectives, the book explores how this exhaustion is experienced and articulated--through burnout, information overload, social media compulsion, and emerging behaviors such as "bed rotting." These are framed as structures of feeling that reflect life in an era of nonstop connectivity and algorithmic demands.

Accessible yet theoretically grounded, this collection is an essential resource for scholars in cultural and technology studies, while also speaking to broader debates in anthropology, psychology, digital geography, urban studies, and consumer research. It offers fresh insight into how we might understand--and rethink--digital wellbeing, social media addiction, and the growing demand for a right to disconnect.
