The Book

How long has it been since you looked at your phone or checked your emails? These simple acts are performed by millions upon millions of people numerous times each day. But the longer a person’s face is illuminated by the glow of their screen, the more at risk they are of becoming a ‘glowface’.

Starting with his own powerful story of a twenty-year screen addiction, David systematically looks at the cost of having instant access to information, entertainment and global communication. What have we parted with for the sake of this convenience?

Our talents, thought processes, careers, leadership, education, memory, leisure time and mental health – these are just some of the things that make us who we are, and each is being lost to screens. Glowface makes readers confront this reality and gives them a reason to take them back.
