How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy by Jenny Odell

3.0

This was a much deeper and thoughtful read than I anticipated going in. I thought it would be a relatively standard treatise on digital detox, or some such thing, but, in fact, was a deep reflection on how the cheap, constant attention demanded by current social media/online presence, as well as the supremely high value on 'productivity' in modern society really takes away from our well-being, physically and emotionally, and our sense of 'place' in the various environments we find ourselves in.
