Description

From one of the world's leading experts in cyber-psychology - a discipline that combines psychology, forensics and technology - comes a groundbreaking exploration of the impact of technology on human behaviour. The average person now checks their phone 221 times a day. That's a serious addiction - but because we're all doing it all the time, it doesn't seem quite so scary. And, like all addicts, we have avoided thinking about the implications of the cyber effect. But now, at last, there is someone who can explain what is happening to us, how it works and what we can do about it. In this, the first book of its kind, Mary Aiken applies her expertise in cyber-behavioural analysis to a range of subjects including criminal activity on the Deep Web and Darknet; deviant behaviour; internet addictions; the impact of technology on the developing child; teenagers and the Web; cyber romance and cyber friendships; cyberchrondria; the future of artificial intelligence; and the positive effects on our digital selves, such as online altruism. From understanding what actually happened in the Malaysian plane crash to the increase in psychotic incidents among teenage gamers, packed with vivid stories, eye-opening insights and surprising statistics, The Cyber Effect offers us a fascinating guide through a new future that it's not too late to do something about.

Author Biography:

Director of the RCSI CyberPsychology Research Centre, Academic Advisor to Europol and Lecturer in Criminology at Middlesex University, Dr Mary Aiken is the world's premier forensic specialist in cyber-psychology. Her research focuses on virtual criminal profiling and cyber behavioural analysis, and she is currently leading an international research project in conjunction with INTERPOL and the Garda, the Metropolitan Police, the Australian Federal Police and the LAPD. She is involved in a number of Forensic CyberPsychology research areas including organised cyber crime, cyber reporting of crime, virtual behavioural profiling, cyber analytics, human trafficking & technology, cyberstalking, cyberbullying, child welfare in cyberspace, personal cyber security and safety. She advises at national and European level in policy debates and recently co-chaired a White House research team. Mary's work is also the inspiration for the prime-time TV show CSI: Cyber. Oscar-winning actress Patricia Arquette plays a cyber-psychologist who is the head of the FBI's Cyber Crime Division on CSI: Cyber. The Daily Telegraph recently described Mary (a producer on the show) as 'the real spook behind CSI Cyber'.
