About the book

Jenny Odell offers a provocative meditation on resistance, idleness and presence in a society obsessed with productivity. The book does not advocate literal laziness, but rather a conscious refusal to participate in exploitative systems, inviting readers to question the narratives of success and efficiency that dominate contemporary culture.

Through reflections on art, history, ecology and philosophy, Odell suggests that strategic disconnection can be an act of political and personal resistance, reclaiming the right to contemplative idleness.
