There's nothing particularly ground-breaking here for those who've read around this subject, but the book is very well written and accessible whilst touching upon weighty ideas.

I like William's linguistic analysis of the "information age" and how we're ill-equipped to combat or process much of the internet as we're working with out-moded tools. A longer book could have investigated that further.

Not convinced by all the posited solutions to the new attention economy but this makes for a good, freely available and short starting point to investigate further.

I don’t recall taking anything away from this book that hasn’t been said a thousand times. 🤷‍♀️

I’m not sure this book is adding anything to the conversation that hasn’t been better explained and critiqued in other writing. It feels very much like he’s saying the problem isn’t the monetization of attention, but that it’s not being monetized in a philanthropic or humanist way.
