What Stolen Focus is like to read
A journalistic tour through twelve forces eroding modern attention, blending interviews with experts, personal experiment, and a call to collective action.

Best for: readers who liked Cal Newport or Anna Lembke and want a systemic, tech-critical take on attention.
