A well researched and written book addressing a topic (named by the title) critically important to explore at the dawning of the age of #AI.

Gloria Mark: Attention Span (Hardcover, 2023, Hanover Square Press) No rating

Just 3% in and I can tell this is a significant work. Mark's book is about #HCI. Everyone is a cyborg today: we live life in tandem with ubiquitous silicon-based processes. (My words) We need to be aware of what is happening to ourselves, so everyone should read this. But if you are in HCI, #psychology, #sociology, #business, or #management, this knowledge will directly inform your work.
