A Deadly Wandering: A Mystery, a Landmark Investigation, and the Astonishing Science of Attention in the Digital Age By Matt Richtel

This book is one that should be a mandatory read in Drivers Education courses. It is spellbinding as Richtel takes us through the story of a fatal accident caused by a texting driver, and illustrates how much pain and grief one distracted driver can cause. Citing recent Matt Richtel I just finished A Deadly Wandering last night and was very moved by it for a number of reasons that I am still contemplating.

Awareness re major hazards of distracted driving.Real people stories make it very impressive indeed. Matt Richtel 運転しながらのメールやスマホ操作(いわゆるtexting while driving)を罰することができるかという問題の嚆矢のようなケースを扱った本です。真面目で信心深い好青年が引き起こした事故で、2006年に2人が亡くなりました。この事件について、捜査や裁判、そして人間模様のドラマと、心理学や神経科学といった科学とが絶妙に織りなされて語られています。ドラマの方はさておき、科学の方は、注意(attention)についての心理学的な研究の歴史や、スマホやメールのような科学技術製品が常習性を持つもの(addictive)なのかということについての脳神経学の研究です。このような科学的な問題を扱っていますが、素人にはついて行けないような細部にまでは立ち入らずに、事件に必要な部分を上手に取捨選択しています。ドラマの要素ともうまく噛み合って、読みやすい語り口です。私の持っている版には宣伝文として Deserves a spot next to Fast Food Nation and To Kill a Mockingbird という New York Times Book Review の書評の一節が引用されていますが、決して誇大宣伝ではないと思います。邦訳マット・リヒテル『神経ハイジャック:もしも「注意力」が奪われたら』(小塚一宏・三木俊哉訳, 英治出版, 2016) Matt Richtel
