Do you love nature? Do you love your phone? If you want to live in harmony with nature *and* technology, this book is for you. Includes practical tips on how to increase your digital wellbeing. It's all about getting in touch with nature without turning off your phone.

See also Sue Thomas's earlier book 'Technobiophilia: nature and cyberspace' (2013), an in-depth study of metaphors of nature online. https: //amzn.to/43zOxvK Howard Rheingold, US-based critic, writer and teacher, gave 5 stars to 'Nature and Wellbeing in the Digital Age' . He writes: "Humans are addicted to apps & devices engineered to attract & distract our attention, but we also are soothed by nature. We're all conflicted about the amount of time we spend online, looking at our phones, and most people I know are increasingly ambivalent. So much of the critical writing about this dilemma is about weaning yourself, logging off. I like Thomas' book because it strives for a middle ground -- how to appreciate the natural world as a kind of antidote to the techno-trance".
