Critics Review
With great clarity and insight, Aiken investigates the effect of technology on human behaviour, including criminal activity on the Deep Web and Darknet, deviancy, internet addiction, the teenage psyche, child development (very compelling) and cyber romance - Bookseller
Really rather good … Aiken makes a powerful case…as we see what digital technology is doing to behaviour, relationships, crime and politics, we’re also aware that it’s becoming increasingly dangerous and problematic - and that it’s our grandchildren who will really reap this whirlwind. If nothing else, The Cyber Effect should enable us to have a more sophisticated conversation about it - ObserverAiken really hits her stride in three central chapters covering the impact of digital technology on children and young people. Here she makes a powerful case for the view that our society has been criminally negligent in the way it puts children in the harm’s way of digital technology - GUARDIANObesity, aggression, developmental delays: what tablets and mobiles are doing to our children…Dr Aiken says children are being ‘catapulted’ into cyberspace before they are psychologically capable of making sense of it - TELEGRAPHAiken does a good job of pulling together the main charges against the internet … this book is fascinating … the result is a book that is extremely useful and well researched - SUNDAY TELEGRAPHAbout The Author
