Description

Hidden Youth and the Virtual World explores the complex phenomenon of hikikomori, focusing on the experiences of withdrawn young people in Japan and Hong Kong. This Routledge publication examines how the rise of the Internet has allowed these individuals to build significant capabilities within virtual environments, even as society fails to recognize the value of these digital skills. This book provides a deep look into the reality of hidden youth. It investigates the root causes of social withdrawal, the coping strategies used by those affected, and the power dynamics between young people and the adults in their lives. By studying the relationship between these individuals and the virtual world, the text offers a clear view of the processes involving social censure and empowerment. It is an essential resource for those studying Asian behavioral sciences and the social implications of digital life.
