James Williams's book "Stand Out of Our Light: Freedom and Resistance in the Attention Economy" argues that the abundance of information in the digital age has created a scarcity of attention, and that digital technologies, especially social media, exploit this scarcity by using persuasive tactics to capture and control users' attention. Williams argues that this competition for attention threatens individual and collective freedom, and that the fundamental moral and political task of our time is to free human attention from these forces of persuasion. The book examines the various ways in which attention is manipulated and exploited, and proposes solutions to restore individual control over attention, arguing that freedom of attention is essential to democracy and a meaningful life.
