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

DID NOT FINISH: 26%

I was hoping this book would offer more realistic advice, but I got the sense that I was never going to get what I wanted out of it. As far as I could get through it really just feels like you're listening to your hippy friend that isn't actually plugged into the full time work force discuss the merits of decentering capitalism, but without seeming to offer any realistic advice. A few nuggets of wisdom in the bit I read, but ultimately I just wasn't feeling it.
