By: Dr Niraj Lal, Aska (Illustrator)
Getting your first phone is a big moment - this illustrated guide empowers young people aged 9-12 to navigate the online world with awareness, responsibility and confidence.
The internet is one of the most life-changing inventions in history.

As we start using the internet and AI to do everything, it's helpful to explore how the tech is using us a little too.
Written by award-winning scientist Dr Niraj (Nij) Lal, host of the ABC's popular podcast Imagine This, and illustrated by comic artist Aska, Behind the Screens is the must-have guide to help young people be online in the best way possible.
