![]() Hari’s book isn’t exactly a blueprint for escaping all of this, and to the extent that it is, I’m skeptical. And it seems to be getting worse and worse every year. Hari argues that we’re all becoming lost in our own lives, which feel more and more like a parade of diversions. That’s the business model of Big Tech.Ī new book by the British journalist Johann Hari, called Stolen Focus, takes a close look at what’s happening - and what’s happened - to our collective attention. You’re constantly stalked by advertisers and product peddlers, and your attention is constantly being harvested and sold. If you spend any time online, you already know this. And if you’re part of this circus, you’re drowning in options and gadgets and screens and you’re being pulled in a million directions seemingly all at once. We live in a distracted world, almost certainly the most distracted world in human history. ![]()
