Author: Elaine Kasket

Elaine Kasket is a counselling psychologist and cyberpsychologist whose work examines how digital systems enter identity, relationships, family life, and memory. Reboot develops that concern across the human lifespan, asking readers to replace technological fatalism with deliberate choices about attention, privacy, and personal values. The 304-page hardback arrived from Elliott & Thompson in February 2024. It carries the subtitle Reclaiming Your Life in a Tech-Obsessed World. Rather than prescribing a simple digital detox, Kasket traces technology from early childhood through later life and the legacy people leave in networked spaces. Her clinical background gives the discussion a psychological frame, while case-based storytelling keeps the argument accessible beyond specialists. The book extends questions she explored in All the Ghosts in the Machine, particularly what persists after a person is gone. Reset: Rethinking Your Digital World for a Happier Life is the exact retitled paperback edition, while Reboot names the earlier hardback. Both editions offer reflective popular psychology about agency, development, and living thoughtfully with technology.
