Stand Out of Our Light

Former Google advertising strategist and Oxford-trained philosopher James Williams issues a compelling call to action: reclaim our attention from distracting technology. In the current "attention economy," Williams argues, our true goals are threatened by an information-rich environment designed to constantly capture our focus. Drawing on insights from Diogenes to contemporary tech leaders, this thoughtful and impassioned analysis challenges society and the tech industry to help individuals take back control, provoking vital discussion on technology's role in our lives. Inaugural winner of the Nine Dots Prize. Also available as Open Access.
