All of us who have been distracted – indeed, intensely annoyed
– by the ubiquitous television screens dominating waiting rooms, restaurants and
airport lounges will resonate with this book. Crawford deals with how to
structure our lives to avoid the constant distracting claims on our attention
to which the modern capitalist world subjects us. Like his excellent 2009 book Shop
Class as Soulcraft, Crawford leads us into a philosophical meditation
on how to make our lives more meaningful – on how to become an individual in an
age of distraction.
