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

評分##2022年第5本。
評分##棄 - 屬於一篇大西洋月刊就能說清也很有意思的thesis 但是弄瞭個book deal 所以必須擴成一本書於是過於冗長。作者對科技立法時事總有解讀,fo個twitter 還是蠻好的。
評分##從彆的書/文章看到過類似內容,未看到新意與洞見。
評分##每一個時代的人們使用注意力的方式,都是主導這個時代的媒體技術決定的。幾乎每次都是人在適應技術,而不是技術適應人。
評分##吳修明,萬維鋼推薦,《注意力商人》。
