{"product_id":"2940170009893","title":"How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eA galvanizing critique of the forces vying for our attention - and our personal information amp;mdash; that redefines what we think of as productivity, reconnects us with the environment, and reveals all that we've been too distracted to see about ourselves and our world\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNothing is harder to do these days than nothing. But in a world where our value is determined by our 24\/7 data productivity . . . doing nothing may be our most important form of resistance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSo argues artist and critic Jenny Odell in this field guide to doing nothing (at least as capitalism defines it). Odell sees our attention as the most precious amp;mdash; and overdrawn amp;mdash; resource we have. Once we can start paying a new kind of attention, she writes, we can undertake bolder forms of political action, reimagine humankind's role in the environment, and arrive at more meaningful understandings of happiness and progress.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFar from the simple anti-technology screed, or the back-to-nature meditation we hear so often, \u003ci\u003eHow to Do Nothing\u003c\/i\u003e is an action plan for thinking outside of capitalist narratives of efficiency and techno-determinism. Provocative, timely, and utterly persuasive, this audiobook is a four-course meal in the age of Soylent.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"HighBridge Company","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47100586623216,"sku":"2940170009893","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940170009893_p0.jpg?v=1763698937","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940170009893","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
