They say love can save you. They never said it could kill you too.

Twenty years in the future, a mysterious energy-tention-has rewired the human mind. Now, simply looking at someone transfers power to them. Lose too much, and you die. But if enough people focus on you, you can live forever.

Mila has a plan: become a movie star, gather all the tention she needs, and secure her immortality. But fame is fickle, and when her career crumbles, she turns to music-and the city listens. With every performance, her power grows. But something is wrong. A new kind of killer stalks the streets, draining victims dry. And powerful forces are watching her, waiting.

Mila is drawn into a battle for control of tention itself, one that could reshape the future-or end it entirely. To survive, she must push beyond the limits of fame, love, and even life itself.

Because in a world where attention is everything, the wrong kind of fame can be deadly.

If you loved the underground music revolution of Sarah Pinsker's A Song for a New Day and the high-stakes dystopia of In Time, Attention Deficit will pull you into a future where fame isn't just power-it's survival.
