i tried really hard not to dnf this but the last two nights i've found myself doomscrolling for hours to avoid picking it up (ironic, i know). i wanted to keep reading because there is a lot of really interesting info and i love hearing Jenny Odell's thoughts. this is just a bit too dense for me, especially in the midst of seasonal depression time.

i will say it wasn't quite what i expected; it is very academic and the first third is made up of a lot of musings and examples of said musings. absolutely nothing wrong with it, just not anything my poor brain can handle at the moment.
