Researchers have worked on this exact hunch for years. I always think of the word hunch to describe that perfect intersection of understanding context and intuiting what will come next. He makes a few eureka claims, including his “hunch that there’s a crisis” of concentration. Instead, he recycles everything we have read about the impact of the internet but does it with style and appropriate attribution, in the genre of “non-fiction book designed to answer contemporary questions without enough scientific evidence”.
