Attensity!
A Manifesto of the Attention Liberation Movement
Kwame Anthony AppiahAttensity! reminds us that how we attend to the world shapes what the world can be for us, and for one another. With a lively, even joyful blend of philosophical seriousness and practical imagination, it invites us to see attention not as a private asset to be hoarded but as a shared capacity to be cultivated and protected
Danielle Allen, author of Our Declaration: A Reading of the Declaration of Independence in Defense of EqualityAttensity! is a thrilling declaration of independence from tech's tyranny over our human spirits. We feel the human and humane surge to renewed life through its call to each of us to reclaim ownership of our own attention, and of the actions we can cultivate with it—for ourselves and in our own names, instead of at the bidding of machines
