WORK IN PROGRESS · SECOND DRAFT
67% toward a finished manuscript
An essay collection, currently in its second draft, about the slow privatisation of attention by everything designed to hold it — and what we might owe each other, and ourselves, in getting some of it back.
WHY I WROTE THIS
Every essay I've written about attention over the last two years kept wanting to become a book. Eventually I stopped resisting it.
“We used to protect our time. Increasingly, the more urgent project is protecting our attention — the last resource we still, technically, control.”
TABLE OF CONTENTS
On availability as a performance rather than a virtue.
On the specific exchange rate between attention and everything that wants it.
Early, unfinished thinking on what reclaiming attention might actually look like in practice.
Expected next year.
