About the Summary
In The Sirens’ Call, Chris Hayes delivers a sharp and timely meditation on the modern crisis of attention. Framed by the haunting metaphor of the sirens in The Odyssey, Hayes argues that attention – once a deeply human and voluntary act – has become a contested and commodified resource in the digital age. Through engaging explorations of boredom, alienation, social connection, and the architecture of online life, he reveals how our attention is constantly hijacked by external forces, leaving us fragmented and overstimulated.
