Forgotten By Design
Hardik Goel
Ever opened a tab and forgotten why?
Mid-scroll, mid-thought… and poof—it’s gone?
No, it’s not just you. And no, it’s not early-onset anything,
You’ve simply been Forgotten. By. Design.
In Forgotten by Design: The Silent Epidemic of Digital Dementia, tech meets soul in this genre-bending, mind-bending manifesto on how your memory, focus, and very sense of time are being subtly stolen—and sold back to you.
This isn’t another “digital detox” guilt trip.
This is a call to remember who you were before
the algorithm got your number.
◆ Neuroscience meets Vedic rituals.
◆ Ancient myths collide with dopamine loops.
◆ Real-life stories, surreal insights, and soul-searching questions.
Meet the yogi hidden in your nervous system,
Decode the ghost data shaping your identity.
And answer the only question that matters now:
If your mind’s been outsourced to machines…
what’s left of you?
This is not self-help. This is self-awakening.
(Warning: Once remembered, you can’t go back.)
ABOUT THE AUTHOR
Hardik Goel has spent over a decade wrangling data by day and words by caffeine-fueled night. By trade, he’s a data engineer and scientist, by temperament. a writer, editor, and part-time overthinker with an eye for patterns—whether in code, conversation, or comic coincidence.
This book is what happens when spreadsheets meet Sanskrit, and logic makes a late-night deal with mythology.
