The Attention Trap

In an age of unprecedented connection, are we becoming increasingly disconnected? Social media promised a boundless world, but has it delivered a carefully constructed trap? “The Attention Trap: How Social Media Hijacked Humanity” dives deep into the mechanics of this digital takeover, exploring how platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and TikTok, initially designed for connection, have morphed into sophisticated systems that захватывают our attention.

This book unveils the architecture of the “attention economy,” where our focus is a valuable commodity bought and sold. It dissects the “dopamine loop”, the endless scroll, and the manipulative algorithms that keep us hooked. It exposes how these digital forces exploit our psychological vulnerabilities, from our need for social validation to our fear of missing out (FOMO). 

But “The Attention Trap” is more than a diagnosis. It’s a call to action, offering a path to liberation. It provides strategies for mindful consumption, digital detox, cultivating critical thinking, building authentic connections, and reclaiming our humanity in an age of digital manipulation.
