“The Siren’s Call,” the new book by Chris Hayes, explores how the world’s biggest companies are buying and selling our attention, and in the process harming our ability to converse with each other and find consensus. “And that ability we have to have our attention taken away from us without us knowing it, which is a sort of evolutionary necessity, is also the foundation upon which this entire form of attention capitalism is being built, such that we're constantly being pulled by things that we don't feel we have control over to pay attention to.”
