For this months BURNS AFTER READING, I talk about Jenny Odell's How to Do Nothing, a book that uses the form of a self-help book to argue for new ways to resist being dominated by the attention economy while working together to refuse the systems of capitalism and exploitation. And because I try to live my raps, I went into the woods to talk about it.
