ADJUST and Pubblicità Oggi are two doors into the same room. One in English, one in Italian. Both offer a clear-eyed, deeply informed account of how advertising became the invisible architecture of the internet — and what that means for our choices, our attention, and our sense of self.

What readers say

"Di Lorenzo lifts the curtain on digital persuasion with wit, candour and practical hacks. I finished feeling smarter, not scared, and immediately tweaked my feeds."

ADJUST

How Ads Shape What We Think and Do

Part insider's guide, part cultural unpacking, ADJUST shows how advertising has quietly become the business model of the internet — and what that means for our choices, our attention, and our sense of self. It's not a critique. It's the missing manual for understanding the system shaping your digital life.

Our online world is shaped by the ad driven systems that determine what we see. Every scroll, every search, every piece of content you engage with is part of a vast, real time auction happening in milliseconds — one that's learning who you are, what you want, and how to reach you.

"Most books tell you that ads are bad. This one shows you how the system really works — because understanding it matters more than fearing it."

This book is for

You
Your mum
Your boss
Your teenager
The marketer
The teacher
The scroller
The binge-watcher

One body of work.

Together, these books constitute a single intellectual project: a clear, authoritative, deeply personal account of how the internet really works — and why everyone, not just experts, needs to understand it.
