Interested in tech, history, social science, and 20th century literature, but I always like to branch and out be surprised, too.

Johann Hari: Stolen Focus (2022, Crown Publishing Group, The)

Is your ability to focus and pay attention in free fall?

You are not alone. …

None

I did not find the book's individual facts and arguments unique or novel, but the connections that Hari makes between them add up to a compelling argument and rise to collective action in a surprising and effective way. Attention and the climate are connected crises, he says convincingly. And Facebook, in the extent of Hari's telling, is so much worse than I thought possible.
