Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books
about the hidden lives of ordinary things. It may be responsible
for a greater improvement in human diet and longevity than any
other technology of the last two thousand years-but have you ever
thought seriously about your refrigerator? That box humming in the
background displays more than you might expect, even who you are
and the society in which you live. Jonathan Rees examines the past,
present, and future of the household refrigerator with the aim of
preventing its users from ever taking it for granted again. No mere
container for cold Cokes and celery stalks, the refrigerator acts
as a mirror-and what it reflects is chilling indeed. Object Lessons
is published in partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.
