The Sirens' Call
How Attention Became the World's Most Endangered Resource
Book • 2024
In The Sirens' Call, Chris Hayes delves into the impact of the attention economy on our lives, politics, and society.
He argues that the constant assault from attention-seeking technologies and media has fundamentally altered our ability to focus and has significant implications for our mental health, social structures, and political landscape.
Hayes draws on a wide range of sources, including philosophers, media theorists, and psychologists, to provide a holistic framework for understanding and reclaiming control over our attention in a world dominated by 'attentional warlordism'.
