Changing the Subject
Art and Attention in the Internet Age
Sven Birkerts
The book explores the impact of the digital age on our capacity for deep reading, critical thinking, and sustained attention, arguing that the internet is leading to a fragmentation of focus and a diminishment of the contemplative mind. It examines the consequences of this shift for literature, art, and culture, advocating for the preservation of traditional forms of engagement and the value of introspection.
