From Tim Wu, author of the award-winning The Master Switch ( a New Yorker and Fortune Book of the Year) and who coined the term "net neutrality”—a revelatory, ambitious and urgent account of how the capture and re-sale of human attention became the defining industry of our time.
Ours is often called an information economy, but at a moment when access to information is virtually unlimited, our attention has become the ultimate commodity. In nearly every moment of our waking lives, we face a barrage of efforts to harvest our attention.
This condition is not simply the byproduct of recent technological innovations but the result of more than a century's growth and expansion in the industries that feed on human attention. Wu’s narrative begins in the nineteenth century, when Benjamin Day discovered he could get rich selling newspapers for a penny. Since then, every new medium—from radio to television to Internet companies such as Google and Facebook—has attained commercial viability and immense riches by turning itself into an advertising platform. Since the early days, the basic business model of “attention merchants” has never changed: free diversion in exchange for a moment of your time, sold in turn to the highest-bidding advertiser. Full of lively, unexpected storytelling and piercing insight, The Attention Merchants lays bare the true nature of a ubiquitous reality we can no longer afford to accept at face value
今天要说的这本书叫《注意力商人》,可以说是一本注意力产业史,一段围绕着注意力发生的一段历史。本书从这样一个故事开始:一个即将倒闭的学校,获得了商人无偿的赞助,而唯一的要求就是在学校里面张贴各种广告。这就是注意力商人最早的雏形。现在我们都知道了广告的力量,但在...

评分不夸张的说,现代人生活是被广告包围的,路边的广告牌,公交地铁上,电视,杂志,网页,各种app无不充斥着商品在试图勾起我们的购买欲,吸引我们的注意力。 如果你也和我一样偶尔会好奇,这铺天盖地的广告究竟是怎么开始的,或者你感兴趣免费的电视节目和app到底是如何盈利的...

从兜售万能蛇油的早期把戏,到统治家庭闲暇时间的广播,再到铺天盖地都是广告的电视,又到互联网、社交网络崛起无边际地打探私人隐私,人们的注意力被廉价收集再高价倒手。从这个角度反映了美国人民的广告热情是由来已久的文化传统。与实际生活较为贴近,理解上略有隔膜。
评分每一个时代的人们使用注意力的方式,都是主导这个时代的媒体技术决定的。几乎每次都是人在适应技术,而不是技术适应人。
评分完全不能被吸引,也许不是书本身不好,只是内容不足以让人觉得“有意思,没想过”,或者在情感上建立链接。
评分也许女人爱美并不是天性,只是因为广告商看准了女人极感性且容易被打动。
评分吴修明,万维钢推荐,《注意力商人》。
