The Attention Trap

In The Attention Trap, Boris Kriger examines how digital platforms and algorithms have transformed human attention into a highly contested commodity, impacting everything from personal relationships to societal trust. With a sharp mix of analysis and satire, he reveals how the architecture of distraction reshapes democracy, empathy, and truth, while proposing a new model that reconnects genuine needs with authentic responses. The book offers a thought-provoking look at the future of focus and presence in an increasingly manipulated world, aiming to restore individual freedom in the attention economy.
