Smartphone Nation: Why We're All Addicted to Our Screens and What You and Your Family Can Do About It by Dr. Kaitlyn Regehr

This is an accessible, thought-provoking read.  Looking at smartphone usage for both children and adults, it highlights the ways in which we are all effectively giving away our likes, dislikes, interests and personal information and offering it up to advertisers who then target us with ever more specific ads.  It also looks at the darker side of smartphone use, the content that children are exposed to from a very young age, as well as discussing screen time as a potential issue, and ways to address these things with your children.

I really liked that the book felt balanced, in that it isn't a diatribe against technological advances.  And the suggestions and ideas for ways to check you're not stuck in a you-loop, and how you can moderate your own usage, as well as your children's, were all useful.  I've already implemented some of the ideas within my own feed, and discussed the book with my children.  Although it does make reference to children throughout, I found it relevant to my own smartphone usage, and so I think it isn't just for parents and would be a useful reminder of monitoring what information you are giving away, and thinking about your active and passive phone usage.
