I found this to be a rather enjoyable book. I have been reading up on productivity, deep work and focus, so a lot of this content wasn't new or a surprise. What I appreciated was the look back over decades on how we've changed as part of the Information Age and how we consume information - and how that's shoved at us from all angles with bright flashy blinking text boxes.
