Brain Dead, by Paul Robinson, looks at how our time - time that once existed between working and playing, waiting and walking- is being eroded by the draw and pull of our smartphon es. An erosion that is slowly leading to the dissipation of genuine mental rest. BRAIN DEAD The Slow Erasure of Empty Time looks at a quiet change taking place in everyday life. The disappearance of genuine mental rest. Moments that once allowed the mind to slow down such as waiting, walking, or simply sitting with nothing to do are now filled almost automatically by the pull of a smartphone. A quick check becomes a scroll. A moment of silence becomes another stream of images, messages, opinions, and news. The mind rarely reaches a place where nothing is asking for it. This is not a book about blame or panic. It is about noticing what constant stimulation is doing to our attention and our inner balance. A book for anyone who has ever picked up their phone without meaning to, lost time to scrolling, or felt exhausted despite doing very little. 101 Pages. Size: 190 x 120mm (softback) Show more
