Stand Out of Our Light: Freedom and Resistance in the Attention Economy by James Williams
4.0
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.
