Neuroscientist Adam Gazzaley and psychologist Larry D. Rosen explore the evolutionary mismatch between our ancient cognitive architecture and the relentless demands of modern digital environments. By examining the biological limitations of human attention and the impact of constant technological interference, the authors provide a scientific framework for understanding why we struggle to focus and how we might better manage our cognitive resources in an age of pervasive distraction.
