Rental Person Who Does Nothing: a Memoir by Shoji Morimoto

reflective slow-paced

3.0

Written very matter of factly which fits the ‘do nothing’ approach, this book is a series of a tweets and short reflections from a ghost writer. The whole concept of a ‘Rental Person’ to be hired just to be there for free is such an interesting one and I just kept thinking how sad it really was that people needed it. It could solve a lot of  problems caused by loneliness. Rental person had some good yet short reflections on friendship, AI, introspection, Japanese culture, and money. It does feel very repetitive and basic as a reading experience though.
