How the struggle to defeat the Nazis paved the way for the trillion-dollar battle for your attention
In our anxious age, increasing attention is being directed to our attention, and to the extraordinary and seemingly inescapable forces trying to exploit it.

How Social Media Is Polluting Our Public Spaces - And Devastating Democracy
President-elect Donald Trump will return to power next week thanks to his victory in the popular vote and the Electoral College, with his Republican Party controlling all three branches of government.

Chaos Bewitched: Moby-Dick and AI - The Public Domain Review
In his Truth and Method (1960), the German philosopher Hans-Georg Gadamer insisted affectingly that human understanding is an essentially historical process.
