As information becomes ever more plentiful, the resource that is becoming more scarce is our attention. In this "attention economy," we need to recognise the fundamental impacts of our new information environment on our lives in order to take back control. Drawing on insights ranging from Diogenes to contemporary tech leaders, Williams's analysis is sure to provoke discussion and debate. Williams is the inaugural winner of the Nine Dots Prize, a new Prize for creative thinking that tackles contemporary social issues. 650 0 $a Distraction (Psychology) $9 382124 650 0 $a Attention. $9 25385 650 0 $a Interest (Psychology) $9 51029 941 $a 3 952 $l FXPH314 $d 20220909051929.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20201203012312.0 952 $l CEAX572 $d 20200508022826.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=F6057764373811E9B7E2BD1697128E48 994 $a C0 $b KAYInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
