Can you suggest?

I want to read some books on the negative effects of social media or mobile phones in our life or in our culture. Any recommendations?
Have you read any such book?
You should watch the Greatest hack. It's a great documentary on Netflix. But basically social media and the way most if the internet is used nowadays is extremely intrusive to ones personal data as this seems to be the new gold to overtake even the oil industry. And the regulations surrounding private property online are yet to be established to a degree that is satisfactory and therefore the majority of users are seen as nothing but a product that can be manipulated into consuming,voting, doing ,whatever the algorithms matching our interests and personality tell us to do. It's disgusting really

I saw an important film on the subject called "The Social Network". I think it was the story of how Facebook was conceived and developed.

And in 1967 a savagely sage spoof both on the JFK murder AND corporate world ownership..all rolled into one rollicking mad ride.... "The President's Analyst" (mobile phones weren't in everyone's hands yet, but with the phone co. and other corporate memes... its not so much the latest technological version that philosophers think about...)
