Could we please put our phones down? begins at the dinner table: six friends, good wine, three phones, in plain sight. Nobody is expecting urgent news. That’s just where they end up now.Anna Hewitt noticed. And then she reached for her own.Our phones are deliberately engineered to be impossible to put down. This book tells the story of what it means to live inside that design. Hewitt traces the psychology of the feed, how companies profit from your attention, and what the phone is quietly doing to our sleep, our children, our family and friends, while mentioning, in the same breath, what the technology has given us.Anna has written a book that is smart, funny and insightful. She has the ability to make you think and laugh at the same time. Most readers will recognise exactly what she is talking about and come away with a better understanding of why we can’t put our phones down, even if we wanted to.
