Synopsis
Are the systems of intelligent persuasion developed by today's tech giants a threat to human freedom? Drawing on insights from Ancient Greece through to Silicon Valley, Williams argues that liberating human attention may be the defining moral and political task of the Information Age. This title is also available as Open Access., Former Google advertising strategist, now Oxford-trained philosopher James Williams launches a plea to society and to the tech industry to help ensure that the technology we all carry with us every day does not distract us from pursuing our true goals in life. As information becomes ever more plentiful, the resource that is becoming more scarce is our attention. In this 'attention economy', we need to recognise the fundamental impacts of our new information environment on our lives in order to take back control. Drawing on insights ranging from Diogenes to contemporary tech leaders, Williams's thoughtful and impassioned analysis is sure to provoke discussion and debate. Williams is the inaugural winner of the Nine Dots Prize, a new Prize for creative thinking that tackles contemporary social issues. This title is also available as Open Access.

    The shipping was fast and arrived right on time. The packaging was excellent, with a box and bubble wrap ensuring no damage during transit. The item was as described—brand new and matched the listing. The value was great, especially for a rare 2000s TPB like Spider-Man 2: The Movie. Only improvement would be bagging and boarding the item. Overall, I’m satisfied with the quality and the seller and would purchase again.

    The item was offered at a competitive price and shipping was priced fairly, which made it an easy choice among the many others available to me on eBay. The package came quickly and was packaged very nicely. The box was in fair condition but not perfect; this however was not a big issue for me personally as I was planning on opening the box and displaying the item loose. The figures out of the box are great quality and look nice in my display. I would buy from this seller again.
