Nonfiction Read-Aloud Book Group

We will continue reading How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy by Jenny Odell, Chapters 1 & 2, the case for doing nothing and some examples of dropping out. Hopefully, we will also start talking about making art that constellates these ideas.

Artist and scholar Jenny Odell makes the case for reclaiming time and attention from the demands of capitalism. As social media colonizes and commodifies more of our daily life, we increasingly yearn to redirect our focus toward exploring our world and each other, unmediated by algorithms and brands.

Come having read all, part, or none of the book. We will be reading it aloud and discussing it together.
