Jenny Odell: How to do nothing. Resisting the Attention Economy 
Jenny Odell is a writer, artist and taught for many years at Stanford University. She is one of the sharpest-tongued and most original critics of the digital attention economy and an existence governed by efficiency and the cult of optimization. Her essays appear in the New York Times and the Atlantic. Her books "Nichts tun" and "Zeit finden" also made her famous in Germany.
