Why read it?
1 author picked Subprime Attention Crisis as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Not only is this book small and well-designed, but the cover jumps out at you and you instantly know what the topic is about. All about how big tech is obsessed with, and how they monetize around, attention, the book doesn’t pull any punches with the issues surrounding the advertising world and enables you to see areas that can be used, exploited, and focused on to help your business, thinking and how you beat competitors. Tim (the author) previously worked at Google and worked on AI public policy; I highly recommend you follow his work.
From Paul's list on disrupting your competitors sleeping patterns.
