How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy by Jenny Odell
reflective
slow-paced
1.25
I had high hopes for this book but then it took me 4 painstaking months to get through.
Other reviews already seem to convey exactly how I feel. It reads like academic drivel I wrote in undergrad.
Thoreau said, “quote quote quote”. My thought about the quote. Which reminds me of what BlahBlah said, “quote quote quote”.
At the same time, the author seems painfully unaware of their privilege and it just comes off as a former gifted kid talking at you. Oakland? Artist? Hewlett Packard? Teaches at Stanford?
Oh brother.
