A subtle line of aesthetic inquiry quietly undergirds Odell’s political proclamations, suggesting the value of art in a society obsessed with social media and getting ahead. She actually wants her readers to engage more thoughtfully with technology, look at the world more mindfully, and espouse a program of environmental conservation. “The fact that the ‘nothing’ that I propose is only nothing from the point of view of capitalist productivity explains the irony that a book called How to Do Nothing is in some ways also a plan of action,” Odell writes in the introduction, boldly acknowledging her radical agenda. Reading Odell’s new book, it doesn’t take long for the writer to admit that she’s not advocating indolence at all. Last but not least, Odell’s also an avid birdwatcher. She’s written for publications including the New York Times and McSweeney’s, and she’s still promoting her book. Since 2013, she’s taught courses on internet art at Stanford University.
