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

funny hopeful informative reflective medium-paced

2.5

I don't recall putting this on my TBR but I found it there when I went to pick up some non-fiction reads for my winter break.

More than anything, this book feels like an art and literature review, which I didn't love. Odell is an artist, so it makes sense that this would take that approach, rather than a data or social psychology driven take. I would have preferred that, but that's on me.

I just was not super into it! I feel that it just touched on ideas rather than delving too deeply and I wanted more, because I love the concept of the attention economy.
