How to Do Nothing (2019) 4 stars

In a world where addictive technology is designed to buy and sell our attention, and …

Overall, a good book. It is interesting to see that artists, activists and so on, arrive at the same conclusion to today's attention economy: we need to stop and talk to each other.

The book is an interesting overview from contemporary art performances, my favourite being The Trainee (https://pilvitakala.com/the-trainee), which analyses our relation to work and how we see being busy (or looking busy) as a form of goal in itself.

The author gets towards a very interesting part about context and how context is something we are loosing in our daily feeds. But context is everything, it is everything that makes us being. Otherwise, we are just floating points with labels.

Good read, pleasant, nothing new but the thought path is interesting.
