"When the technologies we use every day collapse our experiences into 24/7 availability, platforms for personal branding, and products to be monetized, nothing can be quite so radical as . . . doing nothing. Here, Jenny Odell sends up a flare from the heart of Silicon Valley, delivering an action plan to resist capitalist narratives of productivity and techno-determinism, and to become more meaningfully connected in the process"-- Provided by publisher.

This book made me think! submitted by TeacherN on June 17, 2020, 10:30am This book made me think about the purpose of art, the importance of listening and observing, and our role as humans in this world.

Important and Thoughtful submitted by sVfGI7Glt2pz7GZgVB90 on August 19, 2020, 6:44am I have just started this, and it has made me think of things uniquely. This very well-investigated book is a reminder of how important it is to come up for air as often as possible in this crazed and intense world.
