About the author
Chris Hayes is an American journalist and author who has hosted television and podcast discussions of politics, economics, media, and public institutions. His earlier books examined meritocracy and political trust.
The Sirens’ Call turns to attention as a social resource shaped by advertising, platform incentives, and political communication. Hayes writes from inside an industry that both studies and competes for that attention.
Where to start
Start with The Sirens’ Call for Hayes’s account of the attention economy, or A Colony in a Nation for his earlier work on policing and unequal citizenship.
