The Sirens’ Call: Chris Hayes on the Attention Economy at Athenaeum Center for Thought & Culture

We all feel it — the distraction, the loss of focus, the addictive focus on the wrong things for too long thanks to our phones, computers, tablets, and more. Chris Hayes, host of MSNBC’s show “All In” and “Why Is This Happening? The Chris Hayes Podcast,” argues attention has become a commodified resource extracted from us, and from which we are increasingly alienated. This assault from attention capitalism has reordered our politics and the fabric of our society. In his newest book The Sirens’ Call: How Attention Became the World’s Most Endangered Resource, Hayes offers clarity and guidance so that we can wrest back control of our lives, our politics, and our future.

A book signing will follow this program.
