Way better than I expected
5 stars
Not a “self-help” book, it is a call to action. There were some pretty good ideas in there, and helpful references/anecdotes.

An artist's perspective on the commodification of attention and potential paths of resistance by seeking a deeper connection to the local environment.

Doing Nothing is a Lot of Work

A fantastic work of cultural critique with some deep ecology thrown in to fill the void where apps used to be. It gets a little unfocused near the end, but the fist 75% is so good. It provides an excellent overview on generative refusal, amateur ecology, and community connectedness presented from the point of view of a tech enthusiast turned bird-watcher.
