Why read anymore?

The Vergecast discusses the decline of long-form reading with The Atlantic's Rose Horowitch, author of 'The End of Reading Is Here.' Horowitch explains how the constant influx of social media feeds, streaming, AI, and messaging has reduced people's attention spans, making it harder to sit with books and long articles. The conversation explores the paradox of consuming more text than ever while retaining less. The episode questions whether technology is fundamentally changing how we process information.
