One of the Best Books of the Year
The San Francisco Chronicle * The Philadelphia Inquirer * Vox * The Globe and Mail (Toronto)
From Tim Wu, author of the award-winning The Master Switch ( a New Yorker and Fortune Book of the Year) and who coined the term "net neutrality”—a revelatory, ambitious and urgent account of how the capture and re-sale of human attention became the defining industry of our time.
Ours is often called an information economy, but at a moment when access to information is virtually unlimited, our attention has become the ultimate commodity. In nearly every moment of our waking lives, we face a barrage of efforts to harvest our attention.
This condition is not simply the byproduct of recent technological innovations but the result of more than a century's growth and expansion in the industries that feed on human attention. Wu’s narrative begins in the nineteenth century, when Benjamin Day discovered he could get rich selling newspapers for a penny. Since then, every new medium—from radio to television to Internet companies such as Google and Facebook—has attained commercial viability and immense riches by turning itself into an advertising platform. Since the early days, the basic business model of “attention merchants” has never changed: free diversion in exchange for a moment of your time, sold in turn to the highest-bidding advertiser. Full of lively, unexpected storytelling and piercing insight, The Attention Merchants lays bare the true nature of a ubiquitous reality we can no longer afford to accept at face value

##從彆的書/文章看到過類似內容，未看到新意與洞見。
評分##2022年第5本。
評分##從兜售萬能蛇油的早期把戲，到統治傢庭閑暇時間的廣播，再到鋪天蓋地都是廣告的電視，又到互聯網、社交網絡崛起無邊際地打探私人隱私，人們的注意力被廉價收集再高價倒手。從這個角度反映瞭美國人民的廣告熱情是由來已久的文化傳統。與實際生活較為貼近，理解上略有隔膜。

評分##棄 - 屬於一篇大西洋月刊就能說清也很有意思的thesis 但是弄瞭個book deal 所以必須擴成一本書於是過於冗長。作者對科技立法時事總有解讀，fo個twitter 還是蠻好的。
評分##I think there are several problems this book is trying to address. How should we exercise our attention, in what circumstances our attention should be allowed to be monetized, and how should our attention be monetized. The author seems to be jumping among these questions, cherry picking one of them to answer from chapter to chapter.
評分##你任何時候都在花費注意力，不用在這裏就用在那裏，隨時産生隨時花掉，既不能關閉也不能攢起來；人的大腦非常善於忽略信息，越常見的，越容易忽略 | 媚俗是爭奪注意力的起點 | 必須不斷地推陳齣新，加大劑量給讀者新的刺激 | 去中心、無組織的東西好是好，就是不賺錢
評分##With good intention and careful calculation, comes the right attention leading up to a brighter direction.
