About this audiobook
The Automation Paradox: Why More Technology Makes Us Less Productive is a thoughtful and counterintuitive audiobook about one of the strangest problems of modern work: the more tools we add to save time, the less focused and productive we often become. From notifications and app-switching to endless options, fake multitasking, and automation complacency, this audiobook explains how technology quietly fragments attention and creates hidden work around the work. It is not anti-technology. It is a smarter argument for using technology with more intention. With evidence from studies on interruptions, multitasking, choice overload, smartphone distraction, and human overreliance on automation, The Automation Paradox shows why productivity is not about having more apps, dashboards, systems, or integrations. It is about protecting attention, simplifying decisions, reducing digital friction, and choosing tools that actually serve the work. Narrated by IA.
