Can a nineteenth-century German philosopher help us reduce our doom scrolling, FOMO, digital loneliness, information overload, and screen addiction? Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900) had no "tips" for dealing with tech, but his work questions the dominant values of our digital age. In gloriously exciting prose, Nietzsche makes a passionate call for people to reclaim their attention from distraction, to embrace creative exertion rather than frictionless comfort, and to live joyfully as embodied beings in the world. He offers a truly human way to live, one that can restore technology to a more useful place in our lives. Technology journalist Nate Anderson uncovers the impact of Nietzsche's "yes-saying" philosophy on his own digital life-and perhaps on yours. In this book you will learn: Why you should trade "the easy life" for "the good life", How to harness your goal-driven, creative power, Why you should go on an information diet, How to help technology serve your goals In Emergency, Break Glass suggests a way forward into a life of abundance, if we can listen to a voice from the past.
