La era tecnológica tiene muchos aspectos positivos, pero también un sinfín de consecuencias negativas, sobre todo para las nuevas generaciones. Una de estas consecuencias es que al tener una interacción excesiva con aparatos electrónicos, como tabletas, computadoras o teléfonos inteligentes, muchos niños y niñas dejan de relacionarse con su entorno. La realidad virtual poco a poco comienza a ocupar el lugar de la realidad concreta. Recurriendo a su característico ingenio y mediante un enfoque humorístico, Patrick McDonnell aborda dicha problemática en un libro dirigido a los niños, pero cuyo mensaje es válido para las personas de todas las edades. Es la historia de Tek, un niño cavernícola que vive encerrado en su cueva, pegado a sus dispositivos electrónicos. Su aislamiento le ha impedido darse cuenta de que en el exterior hay un mundo grande y hermoso esperándolo. Un detalle curioso es que el libro tiene la forma de una tableta electrónica.
