In this insightful and pathbreaking reflection on 'doing nothing',
Billy Ehn and Orvar Lofgren take us on a fascinating tour of what
is happening when, to all appearances, absolutely nothing is
happening. Sifting through a wide range of examples drawn from
literature, published ethnographies, and firsthand research, they
probe the unobserved moments in our daily lives - waiting for a
bus, daydreaming by the window, performing a routine task - and
illuminate these 'empty' times as full of significance. Creative,
insightful, and profound, "The Secret World of Doing Nothing" leads
us to rethink the ordinary and find meaning in today's hypermodern
reality.
