How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy
Powell's Books on Hawthorne 3723 SE Hawthorne Blvd, Portland, OR, United StatesNothing is harder to do these days than nothing. But in a world where our value is determined by 24/7 data productivity… doing nothing may be our most important form of resistance. So argues artist and critic Jenny Odell in How to Do Nothing (Melville House), a field guide to doing nothing. Far from the anti-technology screed or the back-to-nature meditation we read so often, How to Do Nothing is an action plan for thinking outside of capitalist narratives of efficiency and techno-determinism.
