520    "The network and cable television personality shares her 
       personal journey through the tumult of technology, in 
       which she experiences the horrors and dangers of our smart
       -phone, social media, tech-polluted world, explores the 
       reasons behind it, and reveals her ideas for reclaiming a 
       real life in these virtual times. In this entertaining and
       inspiring book, Jedediah Bila chronicles her confusing, 
       chaotic, and ultimately catastrophic love-hate 
       relationship with. her cell phone. Taking us through a 
       series of what she calls her McFly Moments (named for the 
       Back to the Future protagonist who sparked her simple life
       envy and desire to travel back to a seemingly easier time),
       Jedediah shares her most personal and embarrassing stories
       of mistakes made and sunsets missed, including the 
       upending, life-altering months swirling in the digitally-
       enabled double life of her con man ex-boyfriend. Naming 
       her affliction OCTD, (Obsessive Compulsive Tech Disorder) 
       and heeding what she calls "the seven deadly signs that 
       the tech apocalypse is upon us," Bila sets off to explore 
       the consequences of too-much-tech, including: public cell-
       phone conversations as the second-hand smoke of the twenty
       -first century; Menage-a-Tech relationships; and the fact 
       that we've all been programmed for addiction. Jedediah 
       Bila applies the no-nonsense, common-sense, personal 
       responsibility and accountability approach on which her 
       television viewership, readers, and more than 400,000 
       social media followers have come to rely, to shout "Hey! 
       My eyes are up here" and warn us all that if we don't 
       start looking up to make eye contact with each other, our 
       very humanity is at stake"--|cProvided by publisher.
