Digital Youth

Generation Alpha is supposed to be the screen-addicted generation, the lost ones, but they are paying attention. When five friends meet at their local park after a Walk for Peace, an ordinary afternoon turns into an extraordinary conversation. Trading ideas sparked by social media, conspiracy threads, spiritual theories, and breaking news, they begin asking the questions that adults seem too busy or too afraid to face.

Their small talk launches an online platform to reach out to young people around the world, and ask them to share what they think, what they see, what they fear, and what kind of future they want. The response is overwhelming, and comments pour in from every continent, and in the process, these not-so-lost teenagers form a global, youth-led network of dialogue, creativity, and action.

As Digital Youth grows, these kids must navigate viral attention, backlash, burnout, and the uncomfortable realisation that influence isn't about being famous, it's about making space.

Warm, hopeful, and deeply human, Digital Youth is a coming-of-age novel for a connected world about friendship, collective courage, and a generation who discover that the future is now.
