A Deadly Wandering: A Mystery, a Landmark Investigation, and the Astonishing Science of Attention in the Digital Age by Matt Richtel is a thought-provoking exploration of technology's impact on the human mind and society. The book tells the story of a tragic car crash that claimed the lives of two rocket scientists in 2006, and how it led to a leading advocate against distracted driving. Richtel weaves together the investigation, the scientist's family, and the latest scientific findings on human attention and technology's effects on our brains, proposing practical solutions to help manage this crisis. This book provides a propulsive read filled with fascinating detail, narrative tension, and emotional depth, shedding light on one of the biggest questions of our time: what is all of our technology doing to us?
