Who has not found themselves scrolling endlessly on screens and
wondered: Am I living or distracting myself from living? In
Emergency, Break Glass adapts Friedrich Nietzsche's passionate
quest for meaning into a world overwhelmed by "content." Written
long before the advent of smartphones, Nietzsche's aphoristic
philosophy advocated a fierce mastery of attention, a strict
information diet, and a powerful connection to the natural world.
Drawing on Nietzsche's work, technology journalist Nate Anderson
advocates for a life of goal-oriented, creative exertion as more
meaningful than the "frictionless" leisure often promised by our
devices. He rejects the simplicity of contemporary prescriptions
like reducing screen time in favour of looking deeply at what truly
matters to us, then finding ways to make our technological tools
serve this vision. With a light touch suffused by humour, Anderson
uncovers the impact of this "yes-saying" philosophy on his own
life-and perhaps on yours.
