Chris Hayes, The Sirens’ Call: How Attention Became theWorld’s Most Endangered Resource. Penguin Random House, 2025 and Nicholas Carr, Superbloom: How Technologies of Connection Tear Us Apart, W. W. Norton & Company, 2024.

The review is in Christian Ethics Today. It’s a great journal, it’s online and free to read. https://christianethicstoday.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/CET_136.pdf. My article begins on p. 21.
