In Emergency Break Glass - Nate Anderson Gebunden

Who has not found themselves scrolling endlessly on screens and wondered: Am I living or distracting myself from living? In Emergency Break Glass adapts Friedrich Nietzsche's passionate quest for meaning into a world overwhelmed by content. Written long before the advent of smartphones Nietzsche's aphoristic philosophy advocated a fierce mastery of attention a strict information diet and a powerful connection to the natural world. Drawing on Nietzsche's work technology journalist Nate Anderson advocates for a life of goal-oriented creative exertion as more meaningful than the frictionles s leisure often promised by our devices. He rejects the simplicity of contemporary prescriptions like reducing screen time in favour of looking deeply at what truly matters to us then finding ways to make our technological tools serve this vision. With a light touch suffused by humour Anderson uncovers the impact of this yes-saying philosophy on his own life-and perhaps on yours.
