Johann Hari

Lost Connections; depression-and-attention synthesis.

Johann Eduard Hari is a British writer and journalist. Until 2011, Hari wrote for The Independent, among other outlets, before resigning after admitting to plagiarism and fabrications dating back to 2001 and making malicious edits to the Wikipedia pages of journalists who had criticised his conduct. He has since written books on the topics of depression, the war on drugs, the effect of technology on attention span, and anti-obesity medication. Hari's books have also attracted criticism for inaccuracies and misrepresentation.
