(Book)

"Who has not found themselves scrolling endlessly on screens and wondered: am I living or distracting myself from living? [This book] adapts Friedrich Nietzsche's ... quest for meaning into a world overwhelmed by 'content.' Written long before the advent of smartphones, Nietzsche's aphoristic philosophy advocated a fierce mastery of attention, a strict information diet, and a powerful connection to the natural world. Drawing on Nietzsche's work, technology journalist Nate Anderson advocates for a life of goal-oriented, creative exertion as more meaningful than the 'frictionless' leisure often promised by our devices. He rejects the simplicity of contemporary prescriptions like reducing screen time in favor of looking deeply at what truly matters to us, then finding ways to make our technological tools serve this vision"--,Provided by publisher.
