substance with widespread negative effects, or a disruptive new form of media with widespread social impact. \u003cbr\u003eIt is a much more profound and entirely different problem.\u003cbr\u003e The most significant characteristic of our age is that our attention is our most important resource and at the same time, the essential element that makes us human.\u003cbr\u003e Unlike external resources like land, coal, and capital, the primary resource of our time lies within our minds.\u003cbr\u003e And to extract this, we must drill deep into our hearts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- From Chapter 1, \"The Prelude to a Great Transformation\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e At any given moment, the struggle to control where we pay attention reorders everything from our inner lives (who we listen to what, how and when we spend time with our loved ones) to our collective public life (which social concerns are discussed and legislated and which are ignored, which deaths are widely mourned and which are quietly forgotten). \u003cbr\u003eAll aspects of human life, encompassing the broadest categories of human organization, are being reorganized in the pursuit of interest.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- From Chapter 1, \"The Prelude to a Great Transformation\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Before you can communicate, insult, charm, or do anything else to anyone, you must first make sure your voice does not disappear into the muted background noise.\u003cbr\u003e In fact, 99.9% of the utterances directed at us disappear like that.\u003cbr\u003e Public discourse is now a struggle for the attention of everyone against everyone.\u003cbr\u003e Commerce is also a struggle for attention.\u003cbr\u003e Social life is also a struggle for attention.\u003cbr\u003e Parenting is also a struggle for attention.\u003cbr\u003e We are all tired of this struggle.\u003cbr\u003e This book is an attempt to find peace.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- From Chapter 1, \"The Prelude to a Great Transformation\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The slot machine model has now become the dominant model in the attention-grabbing era. \u003cbr\u003eMost popular social media platforms, including Facebook, X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and TikTok, have adopted this approach.\u003cbr\u003e It's no coincidence that the core structure of these platforms, the \"feed,\" is designed to scroll endlessly, like a slot machine.\u003cbr\u003e These apps are structured to maintain our attention through constant stimulation and constant intervention.\u003cbr\u003e That's why it succeeds in holding our attention without much effort.\u003cbr\u003e Cell phones are, so to speak, little slot machines in our pockets.\u003cbr\u003e These devices, readily available for use, have maintained our attention for enormous periods of time simply by repeating the act of capturing our attention.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- From Chapter 2, \"The Slot Machine and Uncle Sam\"\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eLack of concentration, reduced attention span, and constant distraction are probably the most common complaints of our time.\u003cbr\u003e We all try to avoid moments when our minds feel empty, but the more we try, the more difficult it becomes to find the reward we truly seek: something to immerse ourselves in or focus our full attention on.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- From Chapter 3, \"The Birth of Boredom: The Root of Evil\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Social media, with its combination of mass fame and mass surveillance, increasingly distorts our most basic impulses.\u003cbr\u003e The act of loving and being loved, caring and being cared for, or making friends laugh with jokes, is now being transformed into a project to impress strangers. \u003cbr\u003eBy definition, this project can't fulfill our desires, but it feels so close to real human connection that we can't help but pursue it more and more compulsively.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- From Chapter 4, \"Giant Industries, Interesting Businesses\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Attention is as old as human history.\u003cbr\u003e Attracting the attention of others for social purposes is as old as shamans, poets, and conversation.\u003cbr\u003e But attention is now commodified, traded through sophisticated, instantaneous algorithmic auctions, available for buying and selling.\u003cbr\u003e Every second our eyes are focused on is priced.\u003cbr\u003e It's new, it's innovative, and it's alienating.\u003cbr\u003e --- From Chapter 5, “Commodification of Attention”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The experience that defines the attention age is a particular kind of alienation.\u003cbr\u003e It is the feeling that our inner life, the direction of our thoughts, is moving against our will. \u003cbr\u003eThis stems from the sophisticated development of attention markets that have found increasingly efficient ways to extract and commodify our attention.\u003cbr\u003e But our attention is different from other commodities.\u003cbr\u003e Attention is a virtual commodity.\u003cbr\u003e It is a market commodity that can be priced, yet at the same time it is inseparable from our humanity.\u003cbr\u003e The alienation we feel stems from the tension between attention as a market commodity and attention as the essence of our lives.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- From Chapter 5, “Commodification of Attention”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Much of the current attention economy operates around the exchange of money and attention.\u003cbr\u003e In other words, the trade-off between money and attention is a two-way street.\u003cbr\u003e People gather attention and turn it into money.\u003cbr\u003e For example, this is how Instagram influencers sign endorsement deals with high-profit brands. \u003cbr\u003eConversely, people also spend money to get attention.\u003cbr\u003e Like Elon Musk, who spent $44 billion (approximately 62 trillion won at October 2022 exchange rates) to make his bad tweets readable to others.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- From Chapter 6, \"The Dawn of the Attention Age\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e One thing that ties Elon Musk, Kanye West, and Donald Trump together is their remarkable ability to consistently command attention.\u003cbr\u003e But that's not the whole story, is it? Taylor Swift, while also incredibly attention-grabbing, isn't part of this \"cursed trinity.\"\u003cbr\u003e Above all, she is excellent at attracting positive attention.\u003cbr\u003e She is a star in the traditional sense.\u003cbr\u003e On the other hand, Musk, West, and Trump are in a completely different category. \u003cbr\u003eThey are figures who cause extreme polarization and seem addicted to controversy.\u003cbr\u003e The most important thing is that they are prime examples of people who constantly consume negative attention.\u003cbr\u003e In other words, they are trolls.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- From Chapter 7, “Attention and the Public Sphere: In the Gunfire of the Attention War”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e As we live in the attention-based age, our anxiety and depression are increasing, our sense of isolation is deepening, and our social skills are becoming weaker.\u003cbr\u003e The number of friends and the frequency of meeting friends also gradually decreased.\u003cbr\u003e We are having more and more difficulty maintaining attention, reading deeply, and learning new things.\u003cbr\u003e The political sphere is becoming more fragmented and polarized, and the information environment is becoming increasingly polluted.\u003cbr\u003e This situation cannot be left unattended.\u003cbr\u003e Isn't that right? I don't think this situation should continue. \u003cbr\u003eThere are several open, forward-looking, non-exclusive paths before us to reclaim collective control of our minds.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e --- From Chapter 8, “Life After the Attention Age”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e What do we want to focus on? If all the technologies and companies competing for our attention disappeared, and our attention was no longer commodified or extracted, what would we choose to focus on?\u003cbr\u003e --- From Chapter 8, “Life After the Attention Age”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The gap between what we actually pay attention to and what we want to pay attention to creates alienation.\u003cbr\u003e And the first step to solving this is to ask ourselves what we truly want.\u003cbr\u003e Imagine that you have the ability to completely control your attention. \u003cbr\u003eIf you could focus on anything for as long as you wanted, with the power of an X-Man, what would you do with it?\u003cbr\u003e --- From Chapter 8, “Life After the Attention Age”\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e We must use every tool and strategy imaginable to reclaim our will.\u003cbr\u003e And as conscious beings with willpower, we must create a world where we can focus our attention where we want.\u003cbr\u003e That world should be a place where we can fully function and thrive as whole human beings.\u003cbr\u003e It should be a world where, as liberated souls, we can listen to the crashing waves with our ears open, untethered from the mast, shake off the lure of the sirens, and safely return to our loved ones.\u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e --- From Chapter 8, “Life After the Attention

commodified.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Today's capitalism commodifies human attention as labor.\u003cbr\u003e Chris Hayes considers The Sun, which loses money on every copy sold but

\u003cbr\u003eThe moment a web page loads or an Instagram Reels rolls, our attention is measured and sold by increasingly sophisticated technologies.\u003cbr\u003e People who have relied on companies

the impact of today's battle for attention on our society.\u003cbr\u003e The Titan submarine, which departed for sightseeing in 2023, had five people on board, and when contact with the submarine was lost, a large-scale multinational rescue team was deployed to search for it.\u003cbr\u003e The incident received worldwide attention. \u003cbr\u003eBut a tragic accident that occurred around the same time when a boat carrying hundreds of immigrants capsized in the Mediterranean Sea received little media attention.\u003cbr\u003e For similar reasons, the climate crisis has not received much media attention.\u003cbr\u003e The slow-moving global climate crisis is not enough to create a dramatic scene that will grab people's attention.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Ultimately, the war over attention, a limited resource, diverts us from what we should be paying attention to, leading to neglect of areas that truly require our attention and understanding.\u003cbr\u003e This, the author argues, clearly has a profound impact on the health of civil society.\u003cbr\u003e We are so caught up in the ubiquitous sirens that capture our attention that we lose sight of what truly matters.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe most successful attention hunter\u003cbr\u003e Politics in the Attention Age: A Look at Donald Trump\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cbr\u003eThe author, who has been a political critic covering important issues in American society for a long time, also sharply analyzes the impact of the shift to attention on politics.\u003cbr\u003e According to his analysis, in an age where attention is commodified, the truth of what politicians say doesn't matter.\u003cbr\u003e The more attention you get, the better, for better or worse.\u003cbr\u003e All you have to do is grab the public's attention.\u003cbr\u003e He cites Donald Trump, who won the 2024 US presidential election, as the person who has most quickly grasped this new logic of the attention age.\u003cbr\u003e When he first ran for president in 2015, he spread fake news that the Mexican government was sending rapists and immigrants to the United States and made the outrageous claim that Muslims should be banned from entering the country.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003eWhat was the outcome for Trump, who made such an incredibly offensive and unconstitutional claim? Despite receiving 3 million fewer votes than his opponent, Hillary Clinton, in the first presidential election in 2016, he ultimately won the presidency, receiving more media and public attention than any other politician.\u003cbr\u003e By sacrificing his own popularity to capture the public's attention, he was able to paradoxically shake up the political landscape on his own terms, while focusing voters' limited resources on one or two issues.\u003cbr\u003e Since then, countless politicians have tried Trump-style attention-hunting tactics, but without much success.\u003cbr\u003e Still, it's clear that Trump's approach sets a bad precedent for being the most effective way to capture public attention.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eThe public sphere in the attention-grabbing age, where democratic debate has disappeared\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In the attention age, serious discussion cannot take place. \u003cbr\u003eNowadays, it is impossible to do something like Lincoln and Douglas debating for hours on the single topic of 'the slavery debate'.\u003cbr\u003e Politicians increasingly use short, provocative statements to grab voters' attention, attracting attention from the press and social media.\u003cbr\u003e In-depth discussions in the public sphere are no longer a rarity.\u003cbr\u003e Today's policymakers' debates have become like a fighting game where the outcome is decided in 60 seconds.\u003cbr\u003e Above all, voters' attention span is limited for long periods of time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e So what will replace the collapsed public sphere in the attention-grabbing age? Unfortunately, rather than paying attention to what others say, people resort to obnoxious behavior to grab public attention (trolling), obfuscate arguments (whataboutism), and spread fake news and misinformation (conspiracy theories). \u003cbr\u003eThese actions have a detrimental effect on public discourse and shatter all rules about where we should direct our attention.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e \u003cb\u003eWhat should I pay attention to in life?\u003cbr\u003e Exploring Life After the Attention Age\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e In an age where everything is reduced to attention, we are filled with anxiety caused by growing depression, deepening isolation, and increasingly diminishing social connections.\u003cbr\u003e The gap between what we want to pay attention to and what we actually pay attention to makes the attentional age feel like a labyrinth with no exit.\u003cbr\u003e Is there really no way out of here?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Chris Hayes, who analyzed the attention age, points out several noticeable phenomena today and seeks clues to solving the problem.\u003cbr\u003e First, there is the emergence of a new market that could be called the 'attention direct transaction market.' \u003cbr\u003eIt's about users voluntarily paying attention, rather than relying on tech companies' algorithms.\u003cbr\u003e Examples include buying LP albums directly from stores and listening to them instead of using streaming sites, and subscribing to paper newspapers and reading articles instead of social media or newsletters.\u003cbr\u003e In an unmediated state, we seek out objects to which we consciously pay attention.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Just because the buying and selling of attention dominates our time doesn't mean we have to take it for granted.\u003cbr\u003e Thanks to the long-standing efforts of countless people to combat the evils of industrial capitalism, we have been able to institutionalize various mechanisms to guarantee labor rights, including a ban on child labor. \u003cbr\u003eHowever entrenched the attention industry may seem, if those who are aware of the problem unite and work together, it is entirely possible to reclaim our attention.\u003cbr\u003e And through the author's insightful analysis, we will find ways to navigate safely through the seas of modernity, where attention-grabbing sirens are everywhere. \u003cbr\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:95%;padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:16px;font-weight:bold;padding-bottom:20px\"\u003e GOODS SPECIFICS \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"text-align:left;font-size:14px;line-height:1.6em;\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eDate of issue:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 20, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003ePage count, weight, size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 424 pages | 598g | 145*215*28mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN13:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9791162733547\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv style=\"width:100%;margin-bottom:5px;line-height:1.6em;font-size:14px\"\u003e - \u003cstrong\u003eISBN10:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1162733543 \u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003ccenter\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\u003ctd style=\"height:10px\"\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/center\u003e","brand":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43894389833770,"sku":"140760","price":29.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0683\/2750\/5962\/files\/bb9c5c02c056908d96e2b6e5634bf345.jpg?v=1765432389","url":"https:\/\/librairie.coreenne.fr\/en\/products\/140760","provider":"LIBRAIRIE COREENNE","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
