Acknowledgements

The art of bitfulness helps create healthy boundaries between you and the floodgates of the internet. it offers new strategies to reclaim your time, privacy and attention. This book is all about how to live with tech, not how to live without it. The goal is not to spend less time on your devices; it is to spend your time on your devices better. This book also talks about how we got here in the first place. Why does our technology limit us, rather than liberate us? The art of bitfulness offers a new way of building tech for all, rather than a winner-takes-all system.
