The Sirens' Call: How Attention Became the World's Most Endangered Resource by Chris Hayes
Author Chris Hayes, a former commentator and MSNBC Host, tackles the 21st century’s biggest human hurtle – our decreasing attention spans. Using Homer’s Odyssey as a metaphor, Hayes delves into how life is now dictated by views, likes, and shares. Our attention is being lured and trapped by clever marketing, entertainment, and dubious information, and yet we have somehow become even more isolated. This book of paradoxes gives us an insider investigation of the psychology of attention.
