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

2.0

I wanted to like this book but just wasn’t able to. The title is quite misleading in that this is not a “how to” book. It provides a rather meandering collection of research, influences, and literature that have contributed to the attention economy or our understanding of it. While this is an intellectual composition, it is not what I was looking for and thus enjoyed it less than perhaps someone who knew the nature of this book before going in.
