Female protagonist

AN ALLE FOLLOWER UND INFLUENCER: EROBERT EUER LEBEN ZURÜCK! Wir leben inmitten einer kapitalistischen Aufmerksamkeitsökonomie, die unsere Sinne und unser politisches Bewusstsein verkümmern lässt. 'Nichts tun' ist der wohlüberlegte Aufruf, unser Leben fernab von Effizienzdenken und Selbstoptimierung zurückzuerobern. Ein provokatives, zeitgemäßes und glänzend geschriebenes Buch, das die Leserinnen aufrütteln wird. Unsere Aufmerksamkeit stellt die wertvollste Ressource dar, über die wir verfügen. Im Effektgewitter kommerzieller Internetplattformen wie Facebook, Twitter, Instagram oder TikTok wird sie jedoch permanent überspannt. Jenny Odell plädiert in ihrem Buch auf eindrückliche Weise für ein radikales Innehalten, statt unsere kostbare Freizeit weiter an die kurzfristigen Verlockungen der Aufmerksamkeitsökonomie zu verschwenden. Nur über bewusste Formen des Nichtstuns finden wir heute noch zu uns selbst: etwa wenn wir uns phasenweise wieder in unsere natürliche Umgebung zurückziehen lernen, die Kunst der Naturbeobachtung kultivieren und authentische Begegnungen mit anderen zulassen. Odell versteht ihre Anleitung zum Nichtstun gleichsam als Akt des politischen Widerstandes, um der notorischen Selbst- und Naturzerstörung im Kapitalismus etwas entgegenzusetzen und die Forderung nach demokratischer Partizipation und Solidarität mit Leben zu erfüllen. Eine fulminante Kritik an unserem Umgang mit sozialen Medien Wir wir uns leichtfertig von Twitter, Instagram und Co. instrumentalisieren lassen Auf der Liste von Barack Obamas 'Favorite Books of 2019' THE NEW YORK TIMES-Bestseller
