This is foundational reading for anyone trying to be intentional about tech. Hari manages to take a massive, invisible problem—the fact that we've all lost the ability to read a long book or sit in silence—and makes it visible. It's the 'red pill' for the attention economy.

If you've ever felt like a failure for not being able to follow through on a 'digital detox,' this book will be a massive relief. It shifts the burden from your willpower to the systems that are actively working against you, which is exactly the kind of literacy we want to build.
