Former Google advertising strategist, now Oxford-trained
philosopher James Williams launches a plea to society and to the
tech industry to help ensure that the technology we all carry with
us every day does not distract us from pursuing our true goals in
life. As information becomes ever more plentiful, the resource that
is becoming more scarce is our attention. In this 'attention
economy', we need to recognise the fundamental impacts of our new
information environment on our lives in order to take back control.
Drawing on insights ranging from Diogenes to contemporary tech
leaders, Williams's thoughtful and impassioned analysis is sure to
provoke discussion and debate. Williams is the inaugural winner of
the Nine Dots Prize, a new Prize for creative thinking that tackles
contemporary social issues. This title is also available as Open
Access.
