Great content. Not very gripping
Thanks to NetGalley and Random House for the ARC of this book.
I'm ~70% through this and tapping out. I enjoyed [b:How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy|42771901|How to Do Nothing Resisting the Attention Economy|Jenny Odell|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1550724373l/42771901._SY75_.jpg|66525499], but this feels deeply aware of some of the criticism that book got and seems like it's constantly trying to outrun and respond to that, which gets irritating at times. There are meandering narrative sections between the reflections in each chapter that I absolutely was skimming over towards the end of my time with this book, and though it keeps asking "whose time is being wasted", I felt like it was mine. Maybe I'll return to this in a few years, but right now this was the wrong book at the wrong time.

I have not DNF a book in years but this felt like one grasp at complaining after another. I appreciated the author’s other book “How to do Nothing” far more - it had some compelling arguments and a unique POV that expanded my own view of some of the concepts. This, yep no.
