'Everything now lives in the same place
Your pocket'
Brain Dead, by local author Paul Robinson, looks at how our time - time that once existed between working and playing, waiting and walking- is being eroded by the draw and pull of our smartphones. An erosion that is slowly leading to the dissipation of genuine mental rest.
We tell ourselves that we are anxious, overworked, that there are simply not enough hours in the day, but the truth may be that we are filling those hours, or the spaces that once existed between, with a deluge of digital input that we simply cannot deal with and are not designed to manage.
An engaging and elucidating read, and one that isn't a tirade against technology and a plea for disconnection, but, as the author says, 'an attempt to understand why we accept this state as normal'.
At 85 pages, this smart, long-form essay is guaranteed to keep you off your phone for a hour or two. It might even create the shift needed to allow you rediscover your rested mind.
