The #1 New York Times Bestseller • One of Barack Obama''s Summer Reading List Picks From the #1 New York Times bestselling author and MSNBC and podcast host, a powerful wide-angle reckoning with how the assault from attention capitalism on our minds and our hearts has reordered our politics and the very fabric of our society “An ambitious analysis of how the trivial amusements offered by online life have degraded not only our selves but also our politics.” —New York Times “Brilliant book . . . Reading it has made me change the way I work and think.” —Rachel Maddow "A useful primer on how social media and the attention economy have warped our democracy and reshaped our lives." —Barack Obama We all feel it—the distraction, the loss of focus, the addictive focus on the wrong things for too long. Something has changed utterly: For most of human history, the boundary between public and private has been clear, at least in theory. Now, as Chris Hayes writes, “With the help of a few tech firms, we basically tore it down in about a decade.” Hayes argues that we are in the midst of a transiu00adtion whose only parallel is that of labor in the nineteenth century: Attention has become a commodified resource extracted from us, and from which we are increasingly alienated. The Sirens’ Call is the big-picture vision we urgently need to offer clarity and guidance. Sirens are designed to compel us, and now they are going off in our bedrooms and kitchens at all hours of the day and night, doing the bidding of vast empires, the most valuable companies in history, built on harvesting human attention. As Hayes shares, “Now our deepest neurological structures, human evolutionu00adary inheritances, and social impulses are in a habitat designed to prey upon, to cultivate, distort, or destroy that which most fundamentally makes us human.” The Sirens’ Call is the book that snaps everything into a single holistic frameu00adwork so that we can wrest back control of our lives, our politics, and our future.

A powerful and original argument that traces the roots of our present crisis of authority to an unlikely source: the meritocracy. Over the past decade, Americans watched in bafflement and rage as one institution after another – from Wall Street to Congress, the Catholic Church to corporate America, even Major League Baseball – imploded under the weight of corruption and incompetence. In the wake of the Fail Decade, Americans have historically low levels of trust in their institutions; the social contract between ordinary citizens and elites lies in tatters. How did we get here? With Twilight of the Elites, Christopher Hayes offers a radically novel answer. Since the 1960s, as the meritocracy elevated a more diverse group of men and women into power, they learned to embrace the accelerating inequality that had placed them near the very top. Their ascension heightened social distance and spawned a new American elite--one more prone to failure and corruption than any that came before it. Mixing deft political analysis, timely social commentary, and deep historical understanding, Twilight of the Elites describes how the society we have come to inhabit – utterly forgiving at the top and relentlessly punitive at the bottom – produces leaders who are out of touch with the people they have been trusted to govern. Hayes argues that the public''s failure to trust the federal government, corporate America, and the media has led to a crisis of authority that threatens to engulf not just our politics but our day-to-day lives. Upending well-worn ideological and partisan categories, Hayes entirely reorients our perspective on our times. Twilight of the Elites is the defining work of social criticism for the post-bailout age.

New York Times Bestseller New York Times Book Review Editors’ Choice "An essential and groundbreaking text in the effort to understand how American criminal justice went so badly awry." —Ta-Nehisi Coates, author of Between the World and Me In A Colony in a Nation, New York Times best-selling author and Emmy Award–winning news anchor Chris Hayes upends the national conversation on policing and democracy. Drawing on wide-ranging historical, social, and political analysis, as well as deeply personal experiences with law enforcement, Hayes contends that our country has fractured in two: the Colony and the Nation. In the Nation, the law is venerated. In the Colony, fear and order undermine civil rights. With great empathy, Hayes seeks to understand this systemic divide, examining its ties to racial inequality, the omnipresent threat of guns, and the dangerous and unfortunate results of choices made by fear.

O que estamos perdendo quando tudo exige nossa atenção? Uma análise impactante e necessária sobre o recurso mais disputado da era digital: o nosso foco Em meio a notificações incessantes, feeds infinitos e algoritmos cuidadosamente desenhados para prender nossos olhos e moldar nossos desejos, o premiado jornalista e escritor Chris Hayes investiga como a atenção humana se transformou em uma das mercadorias mais exploradas do século XXI. Nesta obra provocadora, o autor revela como gigantes da tecnologia constroem ecossistemas digitais que exploram nossas vulnerabilidades cognitivas e emocionais, convertendo segundos de distração em bilhões de dólares. Com base em estudos de psicologia, neurociência e economia, Hayes expõe os impactos profundos desse sistema implacável: o aumento da ansiedade, a sobrecarga mental, a perda de conexão profunda com o outro e o enfraquecimento do discurso público. Hayes argumenta que, assim como a Revolução Industrial transformou o trabalho físico em um ativo explorável, a Revolução Digital transformou a nossa atenção em matéria-prima para uma nova economia — silenciosa, invasiva e altamente lucrativa. Com linguagem acessível e argumentos poderosos, Capitalismo da atenção revela os mecanismos ocultos por trás do sequestro da nossa mente e propõe caminhos concretos para que possamos retomar o controle do nosso tempo, das nossas escolhas e da nossa humanidade. Uma leitura urgente e transformadora para quem deseja compreender — e resistir — à lógica que transforma cada instante de foco em mercadoria.

¿Te cuesta concentrarte y sientes que las notificaciones no te dejan pensar con calma? Una lectura para recuperar el control de tu atención. Un éxito de ventas instantáneo, número uno del New York Times . Todos lo hemos sentido: la distracción, la pérdida de concentración, la atención secuestrada durante demasiado tiempo por los motivos equivocados. El ir y venir de zombis con la cara pegada a su teléfono por la calle. Todos hemos visto con cierta lástima a esas cuatro personas de la mesa de al lado absortas en sus pantallas justo antes de notar la vibración en nuestro bolsillo. Algo ha cambiado en nuestras vidas. En este fascinante ensayo, el escritor y periodista Chris Hayes argumenta que nos encontramos en el epicentro de una transición definitoria, cuyo paralelo más cercano sería la transformación del trabajo en el siglo XIX. Hoy, nuestra atención se ha convertido en un bien de consumo, cuya extracción con fines de lucro es la responsable de que nos sintamos cada vez más alienados. Las sirenas que fueron diseñadas para obligarnos a prestar atención ante un peligro suenan en nuestros dormitorios y cocinas, a todas horas del día y de la noche, a las órdenes de las empresas de mayor valor de la historia. Nuestros impulsos sociales, estructuras neurológicas y herencias evolutivas habitan un nuevo entorno diseñado para aprovechar, distorsionar y destruir aquello que nos hace humanos. El canto de las sirenas es un intento por ofrecernos claridad y orientación para que podamos recuperar el control de nuestra vida, de nuestra política y de nuestro futuro. La crítica ha dicho: «Magnífico ensayo». ABC «Un brillantísimo ensayo sobre la era de la atención y todo lo que estamos dispuestos a sacrificar por un chute digital». elDiario.es «Un útil manual sobre cómo las redes sociales y la economía de la atención han distorsionado nuestra democracia y transformado nuestra vida». Barack Obama «Diagnostica nuestro creciente aislamiento social y nos ofrece un camino hacia la cordura. Si anhelas algo que capte tu atención e incluso te ayude a recuperarla, lee este libro tan cautivador como estremecedor». David Grann «Chris Hayes argumenta de forma convincente que se ha vuelto casi imposible "ponerse de acuerdo" en prestar atención a algo en el auténtico y voluntario sentido de la palabra. Su escritura cobra vida gracias a una verdad emocional, a la pasión y a la erudición». The Washington Post «Un análisis ambicioso de hasta qué punto las diversiones en línea que ofrece la vida han degradado no solo nuestra forma de ser, sino también nuestra política». New York Times «Hayes ofrece un análisis más agudo y político del problema». Financial Times

Notre attention est aujourd’hui l’objet d’une guerre sans merci. Comment est-elle devenue cette marchandise que l’on s’arrache ? Et comment lutter pour se réapproprier cette ressource tant convoitée ? Nous sommes toutes et tous rivés à nos écrans, esclaves des notifications qui s’enchaînent, spectateurs des mêmes images, des mêmes contenus. Nous peinons à nous concentrer et à réfléchir. Chris Hayes nous montre dans ce livre comment notre attention nous a été confisquée, et comment cette lutte pour le marché du clic a fondamentalement bouleversé nos intimités, et plus largement l’actualité, la politique et les loisirs. Il nous aide à réfléchir à des modèles différents, à retrouver une certaine tranquillité d’esprit. Depuis le chant des sirènes d’Homère jusqu’aux notifications des applis, il analyse notre perte d’attention et prodigue des conseils pour sortir de cette ornière et retrouver notre humanité. Un appel à l’action vital ! « Chris Hayes ne se contente pas d’analyser notre aliénation sociale croissante, il nous offre également une voie vers la raison. Un livre captivant et éclairant. » - David Grann « Un livre provocateur, solidement argumenté et alarmant. » - The Washingtonian « Une analyse ambitieuse sur la manière dont les divertissements offerts par les médias ont dégradé notre personnalité, mais aussi notre politique. » - The New York Times Chris Hayes est un journaliste de presse et de télévision, et l’auteur de plusieurs best-sellers dans la liste du New York Times.

Todos nós já nos sentimos alheados da realidade, como se estivéssemos focados nas coisas erradas durante demasiado tempo. Às vezes, de telemóvel na mão, quase chocamos com outros zombies como nós, ou por pouco não somos atropelados. E observamos condescendentes a família, no restaurante, em que mesmo o bebé de colo tem um ecrã à frente... até ao momento em que uma vibração no nosso bolso nos desvia do ambiente em redor, e imediatamente nos conectamos. Fazemo-lo sem querer. Alienámos quase por completo o nosso bem mais cobiçado – a atenção –, e oferecemo-lo às empresas que o querem capturar. E elas sabem como o fazer. A lógica do TikTok é a mesma das máquinas dos casinos: não há diferença entre puxar a alavanca e esperar a recompensa ou fazer scroll down... As nossas mais vitais e profundas estruturas neurológicas, resultado de milhares de anos de evolução, são afinal facilmente manipuláveis. E os nossos impulsos sociais estão a ser metodicamente desviados para as empresas que vivem do nosso foco, de fazermos likes, da nossa audiência. Chris Hayes sabe do que fala. Há mais de uma década que trabalha como pivot na MSNBC, a lutar todas as semanas, dias e minutos pelos ratings e clicks, a tentar manter os telespectadores agarrados ao ecrã. Em O Canto das Sirenes, decidiu observar o mundo do outro lado, e oferecer um novo enquadramento do fenómeno. Percorre a história recente da humanidade, recuperando a figura de Ulisses enfeitiçado pelas sereias; parte daí para o poder irresistível das sirenes, explora a antropologia, biologia, neurologia e psicologia que fazem de nós presas fáceis da tecnologia. Avisa para o perigo imenso de desbaratarmos esse recurso limitado que é a atenção e sugere como nos protegermos.

在演算法海妖的歌聲中守住自己：理解當代注意力危機 當我們打開手機、登入社群平台、觀看新聞推播時，或許已習以為常地認為這是自由意志的展現。然而，《海妖在呼喚：你我的注意力如何成為商品》卻指出，我們所謂的「選擇」，其實是在一套設計精密的注意力系統中被預設、引導甚至操控的結果。 作者克里斯・海斯（Chris Hayes）以清晰的邏輯與廣闊的視野，描繪出一個令人警覺的現實：注意力，正逐步從人類內在的心理資源，轉化為可被提取、衡量與交易的經濟商品。如同十九世紀的工業資本主義將人類的勞動轉化為工廠中的商品化勞力，當代平台資本主義則將我們的注意力轉化為利潤來源。 海斯不僅指出這個趨勢的技術與經濟根基，也進一步區分了注意力的三種形式：自主注意力（voluntary attention）、非自主注意力（involuntary attention），以及社交注意力（social attention）。這三種注意力的操控與再配置，構成了平台經濟的核心策略。其中，社交注意力——人類渴望被看見、被認可的本能——成為最易被系統利用的對象。 透過推播通知、演算法排序、短影音設計、讚與分享的回饋機制，我們在平台上不斷參與，也不斷「被引導」。我們不再只是使用者，而是產品本身。 本書特別值得注意的一點，是其不僅停留於對現象的描述，更關注這一過程如何改變了公共領域與政治文化。當新聞媒體為了流量與關注而傾向製造情緒化內容，當政治人物為了被演算法推送而選擇迎合極端言論，我們看到的不只是注意力的轉移，而是民主討論空間的逐步被侵蝕。 本書並非單純的批判或哀嘆。它在最後幾章也提出對應的思考：如何重新界定「注意力」的價值？我們能否設計出不以剝奪注意力為前提的科技產品與媒體系統？個人是否有可能透過認知訓練、制度改革、文化抵抗，重新奪回對專注與時間的主權？ 本書特色 ● 當你在滑手機時，是誰在獲利？ ● 是你在選擇想要觀看的內容，還是你其實被臉書、Instagram 裡的演算法算計了？ ● 流連忘返於網路世界中時，是否讓你覺得注意力破碎，無法專注？ ● 對於時時刻刻都在炒作自己名聲的人，你是否已十分厭倦？ ● 本書揭露「注意力經濟的真相」，帶你看清注意力時代裡的陷阱，學會如何奪回自己的時間與心智主權。

«La monetizzazione dell’attenzione ha trasformato il nostro panorama comunicativo in una terra di nessuno, dove le norme del buon senso non valgono più.» Ce ne accorgiamo ogni giorno: la distrazione è diventata una condizione cronica. Per strada ci imbattiamo in zombie al telefono, e a volte quegli zombie siamo noi. Al ristorante osserviamo il tavolo accanto in silenzio – quattro telefoni, nessuna parola – e poi sentiamo vibrare il nostro. Il confine tra pubblico e privato, un tempo netto – almeno in teoria –, si è dissolto: come scrive Chris Hayes, «con l’aiuto di alcune aziende tecnologiche, lo abbiamo praticamente abbattuto in meno di un decennio». Un radicale cambio di paradigma, in cui l’attenzione è diventata una risorsa da estrarre, gestire e mercificare, proprio come accadde al lavoro nel XIX secolo. «Le nostre strutture neurologiche più profonde,» sostiene Hayes «le eredità evolutive e gli impulsi sociali si trovano in un habitat progettato per predare, coltivare, distorcere o distruggere ciò che più fondamentalmente ci rende umani.» E il punto di non ritorno è vicino. Il canto delle sirene ci guida in questo passaggio epocale, offrendo la visione d’insieme necessaria per riconoscere le dinamiche in atto e, forse, per tornare a scegliere a cosa prestare davvero attenzione: nelle nostre vite, nella nostra politica e nel nostro futuro.
