Small press. Considered books.

Your attention didn't vanish. It was taken.

In Mind Over Media, Dianne Cikusa examines how the digital age turned human focus into one of the world's most valuable commodities. From infinite scroll and personalised feeds to outrage algorithms, surveillance advertising, and the quiet disappearance of boredom, this book shows how modern platforms have been engineered to capture not just our time, but our habits, desires, and sense of reality.

Blending psychology, media criticism, neuroscience, and social analysis, Mind Over Media moves beyond familiar advice about screen time and self-control. The problem is not simply that we are distracted. It is that distraction has become a business model.

Clear, urgent, and deeply readable, this is a book for anyone who has lost an hour to a feed, felt their concentration fray, or wondered who benefits when the mind can no longer sit still.

Reclaim your focus. Reclaim your life.
