The internet is a rapidly changing space where adults can have trouble keeping up - let alone kids.
Algorithmic manipulation, marketing profiles, fake news and an unpredictable AI future are pretty much affecting us all.
The information available to make sense of it isn't usually aimed at kids - the ones set to inherit the internet and the world being shaped by it.
Dr Niraj Lal is a Melbourne-based researcher and writer, who's also host of the ABC's kids' podcast Imagine This.
He's written a new book called Behind the Screens, which explains the ins and outs of how the internet works - aimed at getting kids thinking about how they use it, who they interact with and what data is being gathered about them.
