The Matrix has never been so close to reality as today. We don't manage our devices, but they manage us. We check our smartphones every five minutes for no reason and are constantly worried of missing out. Time and energy we could have used to do things that make us happy, are spent feeding the business of big tech companies. Homo Distractus is a book that will help you claim back your attention, time, energy and, ultimately, your life.

Lots of references about how technology is impacting us

4 stars

Lots of references about how technology is impacting us and possible strategies to fight the downsides. I enjoyed the first chapters talking about how devices affect our focus, the advantages of deep reading, the ineffectiveness of "multitasking" and the importance of making space for boredom. It is still relevant today.
