How To Do Nothing

This thrilling critique of the forces vying for our attention re-defines what we think of as productivity, shows us a new way to connect with our environment and reveals all that we’ve been too distracted to see about our selves and our world.

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.

Aceasta palpitanta critica a fortelor care se lupta pentru atentia noastra redefineste ceea ce credem ca productivitate, ne arata o noua modalitate de a ne conecta cu mediul nostru si dezvaluie tot ceea ce am fost prea distras pentru a vedea despre sinele nostru si lumea noastra tehnologiile pe care le folosim in fiecare zi ne prabusesc experientele in disponibilitate 24/7, platforme pentru branding personal si produse care trebuie monetizate, nimic nu poate fi atat de radical ca ... sa nu facem nimic.
