About This Book
Jenny Odell argues for the radical act of doing nothing as a form of political resistance to the attention economy. She explores how reclaiming attention can lead to a deeper engagement with the physical world, nature, and local communities. The book challenges capitalist definitions of productivity and encourages a more contemplative way of life.
