How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy

In a world dominated by addictive technology designed to capture our attention and where our value is often measured by data productivity, this book offers a guide to stepping back from the attention economy. It emphasizes the importance of actively choosing how to use our attention, which is considered the most precious resource. The book suggests that by paying a new kind of attention, we can engage in bolder political actions, reimagine our role in the environment, and find more meaningful perspectives on happiness and progress. It presents an action plan for thinking beyond capitalist narratives of efficiency and techno-determinism, encouraging a reevaluation of our place in the world.
