This book is a Nonfiction deep dive into how our modern life is destroying our attention spans. If you, too, have noticed an uncomfortable downward slide of your attention span, especially after Covid lockdowns, you are not alone. The scary thing is, as Hari posits, is that this downward trend has been ongoing since the late 1800s, around the Industrial Revolution. As our society values economic growth more and more, tech companies will fight to get ever last second of your mind, equaling less sleep and more screentime, and more profit. This book is a wake-up call for every wired person on this planet. No, Hari doesn't offer easy solutions; he wants to start an Attention Rebellion. Let's fight back and do our part.
