A must-read: The Sirens’ Call: How Attention Became the World’s Most Endangered Resource by Chris Hayes.
Hayes writes in the New York Times: “Our attention is a wildly valuable resource, and some of the world’s most powerful corporations extract it at scale in increasingly sophisticated ways, leaving us feeling like bystanders to our minds.

“Boredom lurks around every corner in our lives.”
