The invisible gorilla by Christopher F. Chabris
  1. Christopher Chabris and Daniel Simons, in their book The Invisible Gorilla, show how people watching a video of a basketball game, when diverted with attention-absorbing details such as counting passes, can completely miss a gorilla stepping into the middle of the court.

  2. The illusion of attention is one of the most important, surprising, and least known flaws in human thinking. This lucid book examines it in detail.
