Too Much World
A Human Life Was Never Meant to Hold This MuchBy Ivo Senn
Length7h 18m
About this audiobook
What happens when the whole world enters one life?
Too Much World is a lyrical, urgent work of cultural nonfiction about the exhaustion of constant awareness. Ivo Senn argues that modern people are not simply distracted, anxious, or addicted to their phones. They are overexposed. War, disaster, climate fear, political collapse, strangers’ grief, personal comparison, algorithmic outrage, and endless opinion now enter the same nervous system that still has to work, sleep, love, shop, answer messages, and care for the people nearby.
The crisis is not that people care too little. It is that they are asked to care continuously, globally, abstractly, and often without meaningful agency.
This is not a digital detox book. It is a book about emotional scale, powerless attention, and the recovery of a human-sized life.
The world matters. But it was never meant to fit inside a life.
