This edited book analyzes some of the philosophical questions and issues raised by the hit television show 'Heroes'. The superheroes in each episode of this hit TV show by Tim Kring presents a philosophical quandary. With the help of some historical 'heroes' such as Plato and Nietzsche, these essays examine, for example, the role memory loss plays in loss of personal identity, and how the rise of superheroes (superpowers) could break down society by destroying the social contract between the state and its citozens.

Tim Wu defines an attention merchant as a firm whose business model is the mass capture of attention for resale to advertisers. In the modern digital world, we face an overwhelming barrage of advertising enticements, branding efforts, sponsored social media, commercials and other efforts to harvest our attention.

Professor Tim Wu (Columbia University), who coined the term 'net neutrality', argues that this is not simply the byproduct of recent inventions. From the pre-Madison Avenue birth of advertising to TV's golden age, to our present age of radical individualised choices, the business model of attention merchants has always been the same.
