Beschreibung

Every time we reach for our phones, something bigger is lost: our ability to focus on the issues that shape society. The Democracy Distraction explores how smartphones, notifications, and endless scrolling undermine political engagement, eroding the focus required for meaningful debate and collective action.

Written in a clear and professional style tailored for students and emerging thinkers, this book unpacks the hidden costs of digital distraction on democracy. It reveals how fragmented attention reshapes public priorities, weakens civic participation, and leaves important policy conversations drowned out by viral noise.

Yet this isn’t just critique—it’s a guide to solutions. By understanding the forces competing for our attention, we can reclaim focus, restore informed debate, and strengthen democratic engagement in an age of distraction.

If you’re ready to see beyond the screen and rediscover the civic power of focus, this book offers the clarity and direction you’ve been searching for.
