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'.

In 'Being Digital,' Nicholas Negroponte discusses the transition from an atom-based to a bit-based world, predicting significant changes in how we live, work, and interact. He covers topics such as the decentralization of organizations, the globalization of information, and the empowerment of individuals through digital technologies. Negroponte also introduces concepts like the 'Daily Me' – a personalized virtual newspaper – and discusses the future of multimedia, virtual reality, and human-machine interfaces. The book emphasizes the positive aspects of the digital age, including its potential to flatten organizations, globalize society, and harmonize people.
