Amsterdam Non-Fiction Book Club

In her first book, How to Do Nothing, Jenny Odell wrote about the importance of disconnecting from the “attention economy” to spend time in quiet contemplation. But what if you don’t have time to spend?

Saving Time tugs at the seams of reality as we know it—the way we experience time itself—and rearranges it, imagining a world not centered on work, the office clock, or the profit motive. If we can “save” time by imagining a life, identity, and source of meaning outside these things, time might also save us.

⚠️ if you are on the waiting list, but have been to one of our meetups before, don't worry, we'll manually add you to the "going" (ping any of the organizers if it doesn't happen).
We understand that this might be frustrating, but we'd love to have more continuity, and for the no-shows not to block people who want to join from joining. Thank you for your understanding and feel free to DM Ivan if you have any questions!
