The Resource How to do nothing : resisting the attention economy

Summary: Artist Jenny Odell sees our attention as the most precious--and overdrawn--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. Far from the simple anti-technology screed, or the back-to-nature meditation we hear so often, Odell offers an action plan for thinking outside of capitalist narratives of efficiency and techno-determinism
