Abstract
AbstractHere we offer some concluding remarks and take stock of the arguments made throughout the book. We revisit the three examples from the first chapter, using the conclusions of previous chapters to explain what is going wrong in those scenarios. Each case demonstrates different ways that the attention economy threatens to undermine autonomy, and they underscore the importance of the moral obligations we defended in previous chapters. We conclude by offering some reasons to be optimistic about this situation and to hope that the situation will begin to improve once we start taking steps (both collectively and individually) to address these issues.
