Sydney Writers Festival: Resisting the Attention Economy with Jenny Odell

Can we reclaim our attention from a world preoccupied by our data productivity?

Jenny Odell's book, How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy, argues that reconnecting with our body and physical environment may be our most important form of resistance from society’s preoccupation with productivity.

Following a solo talk by Jenny Odell, she will be joined by AI expert Toby Walsh and ethical tech design researcher Emma A. Jane for a discussion on how we can resist the profit-driven tech landscape.
