Hayes announced his new book titled The Siren's Call, describing it as an exploration of how attention has become a scarce resource in the age of screens and attention capitalism.
The book is called The Siren's Call, How Attention Became the World's Most Endangered Resource.
And it's basically about how the world we live in and the current version of what I call attention capitalism, in which we all exist on our phones, in front of screens, everywhere, right, ceaselessly attempts to extract our attention, often against our will, and in doing so, it left a strange feeling.
We felt alienated and it warped both the most precious, intimate moments of our private lives and the entire public conversation and discourse around our democracy and everything else.
And yes, I was well aware of the irony of the fact that my job requires getting and keeping your attention, and that conflict was something I wrote about a lot in the book.
The book was out on January 28th. It was available then for preorder at any place you bought your books.
