Within the growing field of attention studies, Yves Citton's new book is a superb and indispensable intervention. He provides a devastating analysis of the neoliberal attention economy and opens up crucial pathways for resisting its imperatives. Jonathan Crary, Columbia University Citton offers a valuable critique and alternative to talk about an economy of attention . He shows how attention produces the individual who is usually presupposed as paying it, and he shows how the creation of attentiveness may not really be an economy at all. He starts by debunking the unthought assumptions of a whole field, and moves on to a media and social theory of breadth and subtlety. McKenzie Wark, author of Telesthesia
