In an era dominated by convenience and efficiency, one would think that life would be simpler, easier, and most importantly, happier. After all, shouldn’t all the time saved with technology leave us with more time for ourselves?
Popular columnist for The Atlantic and award-winning game designer, Ian Bogost
offers engaging anecdotes that uncover how modern conveniences not only fail to deliver on their promises but also rob us of small, satisfying tasks and moments that keep us grounded and human. Humorous, thought-provoking, and practical, “The Small Stuff” reveals that finding joy can be about doing small things, deliberately and with attention, to unlock the basic pleasures that flavor our daily lives.
