Description
Superweak: Thinking in the 21st Century is a provocative examination of how modern consciousness has fundamentally transformed in response to digital culture and information overload. Laurent De Sutter and Robert Hughes argue that contemporary thinking has become increasingly dispersed, weak, and fragmented, reflecting the conditions of our hyperconnected world.
The authors explore how traditional modes of sustained, rigorous thought are being replaced by surface-level engagement, algorithmic mediation, and constant distraction. They investigate the philosophical and cultural consequences of this shift, asking what it means to think critically when attention is fragmented across multiple platforms and sources.
This work offers an incisive critique of 21st-century intellectual life while proposing new frameworks for understanding how we process information, form ideas, and construct meaning in an era of unprecedented connectivity and cognitive dispersion.
