Description:

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

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

Following a solo talk by Jenny Odell, AI expert Toby Walsh, reporter Cam Wilson, and technology journalist Ariel Bogle joined Odell for a discussion on what we can do to resist the profit-driven tech landscape.

This event was presented by the UNSW Centre for Ideas and Sydney Writers' Festival
