What It Means to Be a Good Digital Citizen in 2025
A New Book by Kori Kastell Makes the Case for Stoic Scrolling and Everyday Ethics Online By Kori Kastell
What do you do when the entire world is inside your phone-but it's wearing you down?
Author Kori Kastell has a radical but refreshingly simple idea: Go ancient. Go Stoic. Go slow.
Her new book, Good Digital Citizen: Everyday Ethics for an Intentional Digital Existence, reads less like a lecture and more like a wise, optimistic guidebook for staying sane-and kind-in a world of noise, surveillance, and dopamine-driven tech.
But Kastell is no stranger to that world. Writing under her pen name, she brings decades of experience as a technologist, writer, and communications professional to the table. With a master's degree in information systems from DePaul University, and a background in political science and philosophy, she doesn't just understand the technology-she understands the people who live inside it.
Good Digital Citizen doesn't demand readers log off or drop out. Instead, Kastell offers tools for staying in the conversation-just with clearer boundaries, deeper empathy, and a daily practice she calls "Stoic scrolling." The phrase isn't just a gimmick. It's grounded in the kind of thought we don't see much in digital spaces anymore: patience, clarity, and intentional response.
Kastell draws insight from thinkers like Marcus Aurelius, Kierkegaard, and literary critic Rene Girard, weaving ancient wisdom into modern digital dilemmas. Her goal is not to retreat from the internet but to reframe how we show up in it-thoughtfully, ethically, and without burning out. Topics like digital burnout, fact-checking with philosophical integrity, and setting emotional boundaries online are handled with both clarity and care.
Her tone is never preachy-just warm and clear-eyed, like a friend reminding you to breathe before hitting "send."
The book is especially useful for educators, parents, and digital professionals, but its reach is universal. "We are synergizing with our technology," Kastell writes. "It is not replacing us. It is empowering us." That line captures the heart of the book's approach-hopeful, human, and deeply practical.
In a time when conversations around AI, digital fatigue, and misinformation dominate the headlines, Kastell's work reminds us that the internet is not the enemy-it's a mirror. Who we are online is simply a reflection of who we choose to be. And in that choice lies power.
Kastell currently lives just outside Chicago with her husband, daughter, and two dogs. Her work as a speaker and thought leader in digital ethics continues to grow, and Good Digital Citizen is poised to become a must-read for anyone ready to stop reacting-and start responding-with intention.
The mission, she says, is yours-if you choose to accept it.
