Mark Vernon in Explore Humanism argues that the way we shop, scroll, and sign up for stuff is designed to wear down our attention on purpose. Half-baked in spots, I'll admit, because some of the stats feel cherry-picked. But the section on notification design made me turn off half my apps that same night. You might roll your eyes at the doom-and-gloom tone, but it'll make you look at your screen time differently.

Not gonna lie, I rolled my eyes at the hype around Explore Humanism, then caught myself quoting it to coworkers. Mark Vernon has a way of phrasing things that sticks in your head whether you like it or not. It's a bit repetitive past the halfway point. Good for quote collectors, skip if you hate a book making a point twice.
