Resources worth your attention

The most thorough investigation I've read into why our attention is collapsing — and what the structural causes actually are. Not a self-help book. A diagnosis.

The case for protecting long, uninterrupted blocks of focused work. Written before the current AI wave, but more relevant now than when it was published.

How the internet has been reshaping our brains since the early web era. A prescient book that reads differently now that AI is doing the same thing, faster.

The most balanced and practically useful book I've read on working with AI. Mollick neither panics nor cheerleads — he experiments, and reports honestly.

A rigorous, readable account of what it actually means to build AI systems that do what we want. Essential background for anyone thinking seriously about AI governance.

My primary AI assistant for writing, research, and thinking through complex problems. I find its reasoning more careful and its tone more suited to long-form work than the alternatives.

For research with sources. I use it when I need to verify claims quickly or explore a topic I don't know well. The citations make it far more trustworthy than a bare LLM.
