A subtle and well-researched novel that, without passing judgment, deals with addiction to screens, online games, and cybersex.

One morning, Lucas’s computer and smartphone crash at the same time. How can he explain to his parents that the viruses picked up from porn sites have finally gotten the best of his devices? How can he admit that his addiction to cybersex is at the root of him dropping out of school and being overweight? When the truth comes out, he is overcome with shame. Little do his parents know that going cold turkey without therapy only makes things worse. As he retreats within himself, Lucas comes close to disappearing before beginning a long journey towards recovery.
