Non-Things

Book • 2021
Byung-Chul Han's "Non-Things" delves into the pervasive influence of digital technologies on contemporary society.

Han argues that the digital realm fosters a culture of distraction and superficiality, hindering genuine engagement and critical thinking.

He explores the concept of "digital exhaustion" and the ways in which constant connectivity leads to a sense of emptiness and alienation.

The book critiques the commodification of experience and the erosion of traditional forms of social interaction.

Han's analysis offers a compelling critique of the digital age, prompting readers to consider the impact of technology on their lives and the broader social fabric.
