A Letter from the Digital Underground
Your 3-year-old nephew can unlock an iPhone faster than you can tie your shoes. Your teenager hasn't made eye contact during dinner in months. You've checked your phone twice while reading this sentence.
Welcome to the machine.
The Book They Don't Want You to Read
APPRISON by Dr. Jawahar Surisetti isn't another digital detox guide filled with feel-good platitudes. It's a forensic examination of the greatest psychological experiment in human history—one being conducted on you, your children, and everyone you love.
Right now. Without your consent.
Who is Dr. Jawahar Surisetti?
Most authors write about problems they've observed. Dr. Surisetti writes about problems he's solved—for governments, institutions, and thousands of families worldwide.
As an internationally recognized educationist, practicing psychologist, and TED speaker, he's spent decades studying human behavior. But APPRISON represents something different: the moment an expert stops observing and starts warning.
The Question That Changes Everything
"Are we free, or are we being programmed?"
Not a philosophical riddle. A clinical diagnosis.
Dr. Surisetti presents evidence—behavioral patterns, neurological changes, social data—that suggests we're witnessing the first technologically-induced mass behavioral modification in human history.
The symptoms are everywhere:
- Fractured attention spans
- Engineered emotional dependency
- The collapse of deep relationships
- Children who prefer screens to playgrounds
The cause? Apps designed not to serve you, but to capture you.
What APPRISON Reveals
The Invisible Architecture of Control
How every notification, every endless scroll, every "just one more video" is precisely calculated to exploit your brain's reward system. This isn't accident—it's engineering.
The Developmental Disaster
Clinical evidence of what screens are doing to developing minds. Spoiler: it's not good. And it's not reversible without intervention.
The Economic Reality
Your attention isn't the product being sold. Your predictable behavior is. Learn how your daily patterns generate billions while leaving you emptier, more anxious, and increasingly isolated.
The Path Forward
Unlike most books that identify problems, APPRISON provides solutions. Real ones. Tested ones. Dr. Surisetti doesn't just theorize—he's helped thousands of families reclaim their lives from digital dependency.
Why This Matters Now
We're not just losing time to our devices. We're losing the capacity for the experiences that make us human:
- Deep, sustained thinking
- Present-moment awareness
- Genuine intimacy with others
- The ability to be alone without distraction
- Creative problem-solving that emerges from boredom
These aren't luxuries. They're the foundations of psychological health, meaningful relationships, and innovative thinking.
They're disappearing. Fast.
The Stakes
This isn't about becoming a digital minimalist or taking social media breaks. This is about recognizing that we're in the middle of a cognitive revolution—and most people don't realize they're on the losing side.
Your children will either learn to master technology or be mastered by it. Your relationships will either deepen through intentional connection or fragment through perpetual distraction. Your mind will either retain its capacity for focus and creativity or adapt to permanent partial attention.
There's no neutral option.
What Sets APPRISON Apart
Dr. Surisetti writes with the authority of someone who has seen both the problem and the solution. His work with families, schools, and organizations has given him unique insight into what actually works—not just what sounds good in theory.
This book doesn't shame you for your screen habits. It explains them. Then it shows you how to change them, not through willpower alone, but through understanding the psychological mechanisms at play.
A Mirror, A Movement, A Manifesto
APPRISON forces you to examine your relationship with technology honestly. But it also connects you with others who are asking the same uncomfortable questions and taking concrete steps toward digital autonomy.
This isn't about returning to some pre-digital past. It's about moving forward with technology that serves human flourishing rather than exploiting human psychology.
The Choice
You can continue scrolling, swiping, and clicking your way through life, wondering why you feel increasingly scattered, anxious, and disconnected.
Or you can read APPRISON and understand exactly what's happening to your mind, your relationships, and your children—and what you can do about it.
The cage is real. But it's not locked from the outside.
