Clearly Iโ€™ve been watching too much tech #hopelesscore videos.
First book read in 2025: Non-Things by Byung-Chul Han.

We no longer create and cherish meaningful โ€œthingsโ€. Instead, we produce and consume data and digital information, what this book refers to as โ€œNon-Thingsโ€.

We may think that we are doing with data and information as โ€œcollectingโ€, but in reality, we are merely consuming.

We are transitioning into a non-materialistic existence, and that might not be a good thing. This is my first Byung-Chul Han book, and it is challenging me to reflect on how โ€œnon-thingsโ€ are quietly replacing all the โ€œthingsโ€ that has once given life depth and meaning.

(And yes, the irony of reading this on a Kindle app on my Hisense Touch isnโ€™t lost on me.)
