"It isn't easy to find an informed and critical look at the impact of digital media practices on human lives and minds. Ivo Quartiroli offers an informed critique based in both an understanding of technology and of human consciousness." —Howard Rheingold, author of The Virtual Community and Smart Mobs.


Howard Rheingold, Derrick de Kerckhove, Arthur Kroker, Eric McLuhan, Michael McLuhan, Douglas Rushkoff, Michael Wesch, Hilarie Cash, Erik Davis, Michael Heim, Maggie Jackson, Ervin Laszlo and others on the forefront of technology and media studies praised The Digitally Divided Self as a milestone in the understanding of human nature in relationship with digital technology.


Intersecting media studies, psychology and spirituality, The Digitally Divided Self exposes the nature of the malleable mind and explores the religious and philosophical influences which leave it obsessed with the incessant flow of information.
