Chris Hayes on “The Sirens’ Call”

Restaurants are packed with friends dining together – but too busy on their cell phones to actually communicate. A dozen bings sound during meetings and suddenly no one actually listens to anyone else. And what about navigating busy sidewalks packed with zombies chatting on their phones, distracted by the music on their iPods and ignoring the people they bump into?

Is anyone paying attention anymore? Seemingly not, as we give ourselves up to tech companies that “harvest” our attention.

The truth of that new reality lies at the heart of Chris Hayes’s The Sirens’ Call, a cri de coeur to wrest back control of our lives, our politics . . . our future.

Hayes joins us to talk about jolting ourselves out of our collective and individual stupors to refocus on what makes us truly human.

Chris Hayes is the Emmy Award–winning host of All In with Chris Hayes on MSNBC and the New York Times best-selling author of A Colony in a Nation and Twilight of the Elites. He lives in Brooklyn, New York, with his wife and children.
