Oh time, bound by the codified grid
A commodity we've come to dread
But Jenny Odell has exposed this lie
Encouraging us to set it free and fly
Away from the endless cycle of a life of dread

“The fact that the “nothing” that I propose is only nothing from the point of view of capitalist productivity explains the irony that a book called How to Do Nothing is in some ways also a plan of action. “

Reading Jenny Odell’s “How To Do Nothing” the weekend after I quit my job is the most self-affirming, gratifying reading experience I’ve ever had.

I just started reading «How to Do Nothing» by Jenny Odell, at the suggestion of @alibenjamin and I love it already! «It is within a blasted landscape of neoliberal determinism that this book seeks hidden springs of ambiguity and inefficiency. This is a four-course meal in the age of Soylent.»
