Sinopsis

In a world dominated by digital screens, a generation of teenagers has become trapped in a cycle of mindless scrolling, binge-watching, and endless notifications. Disconnected: The Dark Effects of a Screen-Fueled Brain Rot Generation delves deep into the horrifying consequences of this digital addiction, exploring the slow, irreversible decline of mental faculties, relationships, and society itself.This gripping collection of 35 chilling short stories offers a dark and disturbing exploration of the modern teenager’s struggle to retain their identity in an era of overwhelming digital influence. From the first signs of cognitive decay to the shocking and tragic outcomes, each story presents a different scenario where technology, once a tool for connection, transforms into an insidious force that disconnects the mind, erodes the soul, and drives the characters to horrifying ends.In Disconnected, you’ll encounter a range of characters – from high school students to young adults, each fighting the silent but deadly effects of screen addiction. Some become empty shells, unable to recall basic facts or even recognize their own loved ones. Others spiral into paranoia, violence, or complete apathy, as they lose all sense of reality. Whether it’s a group of friends succumbing to the pull of an online game, a teenager who no longer knows the difference between real life and digital fantasy, or a family torn apart by the inability to communicate, every tale brings you closer to the terrifying reality of a future where minds are rotting, and no one notices until it’s too late.This book isn’t just fiction – it’s a warning. A stark, thought-provoking commentary on the dangers of unchecked digital consumption. Each story shines a light on the dark side of our digital age, making you question the true cost of technology on our brains, our relationships, and our very humanity. As screens continue to dominate every aspect of modern life, Disconnected reminds us of the importance of balance, self-awareness, and the critical need to protect our minds from the overwhelming noise of the digital world.As you journey through these haunting tales, you’ll be forced to confront the terrifying question: What happens when we lose the ability to think for ourselves? When the brain can no longer process the information it consumes, and it begins to rot from within?Disconnected is a must-read for anyone fascinated by the intersection of technology and mental health. It’s a dark, disturbing, and thought-provoking collection that leaves a lasting impression on its readers, forcing them to reconsider their relationship with screens and their impact on the mind.Are we truly prepared for the consequences of the digital age? Disconnected may just be the wake-up call we need.

    Arthur Conan Doyle was born in Edinburgh, Scotland on 22nd May 1859.  His childhood was blighted by his father’s heavy drinking which for some years broke up the family. Fortunately, wealthy uncles were willing to support them by paying for education and clothing.  
     
    He was accepted at the University of Edinburgh to study medicine and also began to write short stories the first, ‘The Haunted Grange of Goresthorpe’, was published in Blackwood’s Magazine.  Despite several other stories and some articles in the British Medical Journal his medical studies took priority. 
     
    When these finished he was appointed as Doctor on the Greenland whaler ‘Hope of Peterhead’ in 1880 and then, after graduation, as ship’s surgeon on the SS Mayumba on its voyage to West Africa. 
     
    1882 saw a move to Plymouth and his own independent practice. With few patients he resumed writing and completed his first novel, ‘The Mystery of Cloomber’, although most of his output was short stories based on his experiences at sea.  
     
    He married Louisa Hawkins in 1885. However, two years later he met and fell in love with Jean Elizabeth Leckie, though they remained platonic out of respect for, and loyalty to, his wife. 
     
    His literary career suddenly burst into life in November 1886 with ‘A Study In Scarlet’, the first of the fabulously successful Sherlock Holmes stories.  
     
    With two children to support he now revisited his haphazard commercial arrangements and curtailed everything save for commissions from the Strand Magazine.  
     
    As a sportsman he was remarkably proficient. He was goalkeeper for Portsmouth Association Football Club and played ten first-class cricket matches for the Marylebone Cricket Club as well as captain of the Crowborough Beacon Golf Club in East Sussex.  
     
    In 1891 tired of writing Holmes stories, he began a series of historical novels and even went so far as to apparently kill off Holmes in a lethal brawl with his arch-nemesis Moriarty. 
     
    Despite heavy and sustained criticism he continued to write in support of the Boer War, a fact he thought contributed to his knighthood in 1902.  The following year to great relief and acclaim he brought Sherlock Holmes back from the dead in his first outing for a decade. 
     
    Sadly, his wife Louisa died from TB in 1906 and, a year later, he at last married Jean.  
     
    During the War and for several years after family deaths had left him depressed. In a search for solace and answers he alighted upon spiritualism and, such was his interest, that he wrote several books on the subject. 
     
    On 7th July 1930 Conan Doyle was discovered in the hall of Windlesham Manor, his house in East Sussex, clutching his chest dying of a heart attack.  He was 71.
