The book shows the dark or hidden side of Social Media that the masses are not aware of by showcasing how social media has crept deep into our lives and how now we have become a puppet of it.
The book emphasizes how things happen and how are the masses being influenced, trying to make you realize and question what is happening behind the scenes compared to what you are seeing on your mobile screens
This book gives you perspective to think on the below topics
1. Social media's main aim was to first connect people. But are they?
2. Does Whatsapp actually provide end-to-end encryption, if they review some messages as being improper?
3. How social media platforms are so biased, where they promote some sort of posts, how their verification badge (blue tick) system is biased as well towards certain people.
4. Social media's aim was to help support genuine talent. Is it happening? or are we seeing random people singing BS jingles, reciting lyrics and getting viral?
and many more

Although the book is short, I wouldn’t say this is a very easy-to-read book because first it is very much dense in information and second it has truth bombs which might not be easy to digest.
To be very honest, Bhavya has asked difficult questions which I am sure every adult using social media would have a tough time answering.
2 very genuine points I loved were
People start to copycat celebrities but don’t bother to ask what is happening in reality in the lives of those celebrities
The second very thought-provoking thing the author asks is shouldn’t there be a downright thumb sign available on Instagram and Twitter to tell the creators that what they are doing is not appropriate?
Some of the chapters are really hard-hitting and I am damn sure, after reading this book every time you go social, or chat on social media you will have trust issues in the back of your mind.
A complete eye-opening book
Recommended to everyone who is interested in learning what is happening behind the screens you are reading this review on
