Der erste Teil des Buches ist faszinierend, da er sich auf die Technologiebranche konzentriert und spannende Einblicke bietet. Jedoch nimmt das Buch eine deutliche Wendung, wenn es um Kinder und ADHS geht. Hierbei fällt auf, dass der Autor oft mit Halbwissen und Bias an das Thema herangeht, was die Glaubwürdigkeit der Darstellung beeinträchtigen kann.

It made me rethink and evaluate my own usage of devices especially my smartphone which I am thankful for and I should make it a regular practice. However after having finished the (audio)book not too many specific insights/study results/etc sticked with me and instead the lecture left a blur of things and sentences I vaguely remember. Maybe these kinds of books just don’t work for me ;( lastly, the parts where a „lost focus“ was explained by external factors was in my opinion a bit too extensive. Some premises (e.g., that the tech giants like google have the best in mind for us - so why don’t they change their user interfaces) were simply unrealistic.
