China is the first country to label “internet addiction” a clinical disorder. A cohort of Gen Z teens are forced to attend a hardcore boot-camp where they are to be “deprogrammed” from online addiction. This fascinating look at how technology may be destroying our lives quickly becomes a wider examination of a society in flux.
