From Tim Wu, author of the award-winning The Master Switch ( a New Yorker and Fortune Book of the Year) and who coined the term "net neutrality”—a revelatory, ambitious and urgent account of how the capture and re-sale of human attention became the defining industry of our time.
Ours is often called an information economy, but at a moment when access to information is virtually unlimited, our attention has become the ultimate commodity. In nearly every moment of our waking lives, we face a barrage of efforts to harvest our attention.
This condition is not simply the byproduct of recent technological innovations but the result of more than a century's growth and expansion in the industries that feed on human attention. Wu’s narrative begins in the nineteenth century, when Benjamin Day discovered he could get rich selling newspapers for a penny. Since then, every new medium—from radio to television to Internet companies such as Google and Facebook—has attained commercial viability and immense riches by turning itself into an advertising platform. Since the early days, the basic business model of “attention merchants” has never changed: free diversion in exchange for a moment of your time, sold in turn to the highest-bidding advertiser. Full of lively, unexpected storytelling and piercing insight, The Attention Merchants lays bare the true nature of a ubiquitous reality we can no longer afford to accept at face value

评分##吴修明，万维钢推荐，《注意力商人》。
评分##I think there are several problems this book is trying to address. How should we exercise our attention, in what circumstances our attention should be allowed to be monetized, and how should our attention be monetized. The author seems to be jumping among these questions, cherry picking one of them to answer from chapter to chapter.

评分##3.5吧，tim wu的这本书跟之前的master switch风格一直，从传播技术的演进换了个角度来讲怎么gain attention and sell it。但是似乎他自己也没有理的很顺。感觉有一团浆糊，更像是流水账。思考和有意义的发问少了一些。
