"[S]imple awareness is the seed of responsibility." --Jenny Odell, How to Do Nothing: Resisting the Attention Economy
We are all ready for 2021--a new year, a fresh start . . . and a new list of books for discussion, posted on the right. This year's books look at the pursuit of capital in the Americas and capitalism's means, ends, and limits. They look at our most precious resource, our attention, as capital to be exploited or reclaimed and used wisely. And they encourage us to shift our perspective towards the vast, the slow, the cyclic, the interconnected life of the natural world, the cosmos, deep time, and myth.
We hope you will join the discussions:
When? We will meet the first Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m.
Where? We will meet virtually on Zoom until CCPL is able to safely resume in-person programming. Here is an invitation to register for the January meeting on Zoom:
