Two of the Summer’s Hottest Topics Converge - Technology Is Greek To Me Releases a New Social Media Book
A new book examines popular social media by using Greek mythology to personify each platform in a series of short stories. This allows people to explore these themes at a safe distance, without judgement, before reflecting on their own experiences.
Delray Beach, FL, July 09, 2026 --(PR.com)-- Discussions about social media behaviors are making the news regularly as the summer movie box office is about to heat up with a blockbuster tale from The Odyssey. Five years in the development, a new book uses Greek mythology in an innovative way to explain the digital platforms shaping modern life.
Technology Is Greek To Me Publishing Volume I: Understanding Social Media and Other Popular Website Services reimagines and examines today’s most influential platforms through mythologic storytelling.
This is the first book published by veteran copywriter Brian Michael Gaps, written under the pen name Atenaros for this series. The book blends mythic narrative, emotional insight, and vivid illustration to help readers of all ages make sense of the digital world and learn to use it safely.
A Mythic Approach to Modern Technology
The book delights with fictional origin stories of social media platforms by personifying them as gods, heroes, tricksters, and forces of nature. Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, and five others are profiled, distilling each platform’s purpose, benefits, and risks in memorable, visually rich tales.
The author says “When you understand what a platform is built to do, you can use it more intentionally, instead of being pulled along by its design. Awareness is the first step toward healthier digital habits.”
