This week’s Book Club podcast deals with attention: what it is, why it is in crisis, how it came to be the biggest business in the world, and how we can resist the tech juggernaut that is destroying it. I am joined by two co-authors of the new book Attensity!: A Manifesto of the Attention Liberation Movement. They tell me why the ‘attention economy’ would be better termed ‘human fracking’, and how the problem is so much more than can be solved by a new year’s resolution or more restrictions on screen time.
