Attensity!

*Attensity!* by The Friends of Attention is a sharp, energising work of cultural criticism and practical guide, written by writers, artists and activists pushing back against the attention economy.

It starts from a feeling many of us recognise: our focus is being engineered, harvested and monetised by powerful tech platforms, with real costs for mental health, community life and democracy. Rather than blaming individual “screen habits”, this book argues for collective resistance. Through vivid snapshots of everyday people—welders, nurses, poets, surfers—it explores attentional practices that help rebuild agency and presence, and points to shared sanctuaries such as theatres, museums, places of worship and dance floors.

Perfect for readers of modern nonfiction, digital wellbeing and media studies, and anyone craving a more human way to live online and off.

Add *Attensity!* to your shelf and discover a bracing, hopeful invitation to reclaim what’s yours.
