Phone Eats First

In a world where your phone eats first, Wesley Miller delivers a hilarious, razor-sharp roast of our all-consuming obsession with photographing everything—and actually experiencing nothing.

From the golden age of film (when every shot mattered and you waited two weeks to see if you ruined the roll) to the iPhone revolution that turned us all into unpaid paparazzi for our own lives, Phone Eats First is the ultimate user manual for the modern feast of pixels.

Blending laugh-out-loud personal stories—like vacationing with a nephew who won’t let a single fry touch lips until it’s perfectly filtered—with sharp cultural commentary, Miller explores how we became famous to ourselves: the generational selfie wars, the hidden costs of hoarding 50,000 photos you’ll never look at, the surprising science showing that snapping pictures can actually make you remember less, and the environmental price tag of all those cloud-stored brunches.

Equal parts satire, nostalgia trip, and gentle wake-up call, this book is for anyone who’s ever paused mid-bite for the perfect overhead shot. Put down your phone, pick up this book, and rediscover the joy of living life off-camera. Because the best moments are the ones you don’t need to post
