Jenny Odell is an artist and writer who teaches at Stanford, has been an artist-in-residence at places like the San Francisco dump, Facebook, the Internet Archive, and the San Francisco Planning Department, and has exhibited her art all over the world. She lives in Oakland.
Nothing 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.
So 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—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 read so often, How to do Nothing is an action plan for thinking outside of capitalist narratives of efficiency and techno-determinism. Provocative, timely, and utterly persuasive, this book is a four-course meal in the age of Soylent.

A good book that does not exactly tell you "how to do nothing," but much more than that. Recommended.
評分作者語:this book is a field guide to doing nothing as a political resistance to the attention economy...solitude, observation, and simple conviviality should be recognized not only as ends in and of themselves, but inalienable rights belonging to anyone lucky enough to be alive.

評分注意力經濟不隻是手機上癮,它是資本主義邏輯的另一種體現。抵抗注意力經濟,往大裏說,其實跟伸張公平正義有關。作者在這本書裏引用瞭很多人,有點大雜燴的感覺。整本書的邏輯不算很清晰,有點想到哪裏就寫到哪裏的感覺(作者在引言裏也承認瞭這一點),不過書裏有些地方還是啓發到瞭我。
評分想起瞭剋裏希那穆提的"享受無聊"
