Description
In a world saturated by constant digital demands, this book offers a profound examination of how the relentless pursuit of our attention has fundamentally reshaped our society and politics. It argues that attention has become a commodified resource, extracted and exploited by powerful tech empires, leading to a pervasive sense of distraction and alienation. By drawing parallels to historical economic shifts, the author reveals how our deepest human impulses are now preyed upon in an environment designed to distort and diminish our very essence. This timely work provides a crucial framework for understanding this transformation and reclaiming control over our lives, our political discourse, and our collective future.
