24/7: Late Capitalism and the Ends of Sleep by Jonathan Crary
3.0
this is one of only two books i bought myself when i was 16, in the beginning of the 2020 lockdown. i loved it. it was the first proper nonfiction books i’d ever read outside of school, and i thought it was so cool and advanced and sophisticated. so, i’ve spent the last few months excited to go back to my parents house where i left it, and read it again.
but this time around, exactly three years later? at many points i found it unreadable. anything after the fourth page is completely all over the place. there’s no flow or anything, just a constant block of text, constant buzzwords, references to classical literatures and philosophers and a bit of science jargon thrown in and… it really does drag, i don’t even think i learned anything.
