How to Do Nothing

Resisting the Attention Economy

Jenny Odell

Coming in paperback: the timely anti-capitalist bestseller showing us how doing ‘nothing’ can be liberating and reconnect us.

In a world where addictive technology is designed to buy and sell our attention, and our value is determined by our 24/7 data productivity, it can seem impossible to escape. But in this inspiring field guide to dropping out of the attention economy, artist and critic Jenny Odell shows us how we can still win back our lives.

‘Odell’s nuanced look at the attention economy and how to master it is a must.’ Evening Standard ‘The new guide to refocusing on the real world.’ Guardian ‘A beautiful book about reclaiming space for thought and reflection amid the chaos of the attention economy.’

The Irish Times

Odell sees our attention as the most precious— and overdrawn—resource we have. And we must actively and continuously choose how we use it.

We might not spend it on things that capitalism has deemed important… but once we can start paying a new kind of attention, she writes, we can undertake bolder forms of political action, reimagine humankind’s role in the environment, and arrive at more meaningful understandings of happiness and progress.

Far from the simple anti-technology screed, or the back-to-nature meditation we read so often, How to do Nothing is an action plan for thinking outside of capitalist narratives of efficiency and technodeterminism. Provocative, timely, and utterly persuasive, this book will change how you see your place in our world.

Pedro’s Theory

Reimagining the Promised Land

Marcos Gonsalez

A deeply personal exploration of race, immigration, sexuality, family, and masculinity through the eyes of a first-generation gay man: the son of an undocumented Mexican father and a Puerto Rican mother.

There are many Pedros living in many Americas...

One Pedro goes to a school where they take away his language. Another disappears in the desert, leaving behind only a backpack. A cousin Pedro comes to visit, awakening feelings that others are afraid to make plain. A rumored Pedro goes missing so completely it’s as if he were never there.

‘A searching memoir... A subtle, expertly written repudiation of the American dream in favor of something more inclusive and more realistic.’ Kirkus Reviews

In Pedro’s Theory Marcos Gonsalez explores the lives of these many Pedros, real and imagined.

Several are the author himself, while others are strangers, lovers, archetypes, and the men he might have been in other circumstances. All are journeying to some sort of Promised Land, or hoping to discover an America of their own.

With sparkling prose and cutting insights, this brilliant literary debut closes the gap between who the world sees in us and who we see in ourselves.

Deeply personal yet inspiringly political, it also brings to life those selves that never get the chance to be seen at all.

Useless Miracle Barry Schechter

A classic, smart comedy about a meek college professor who achieves one of mankind’s most fervent wishes: the ability to fly.

What do you do if you discover, late one sleepless night, that you can fly? Like, literally fly?

If you’re college professor George Entmen, you try to keep it hush-hush, because he knows it will bring a kind of attention to his life that he dreads, and because—well, it’s embarrassing. Because, you see, George can only fly if he lays on the floor on his stomach and stretches his arms out in front of him like superman—and even then he can only fly about three inches off the ground, and very, very, very slowly.

Praise for The Blindfold Test: ‘Reading The Blindfold Test is a new and radical pleasure.’ Lore Segal ‘The kind of novel Woody Allen and Hunter S. Thompson would’ve written together if they could’ve gotten along.’ Time Out Chicago

To George, it’s what he calls a ‘useless miracle.’

But to his wife Rebecca it’s this thing her husband can do that’s entertaining at parties. Which is how word seeps out to his insanely competitive friends and colleagues, who become driven to uncover his ‘trick’. Which is how the media hears about it...

Which is how all hell breaks loose.

This smart, extremely funny, character-driven novel is for fans of classic comedic wit from Evelyn Waugh to Nick Hornby.

Shirley Chisholm: The Last Interview Shirley Chisholm

A collection of revealing and fearless interviews with Shirley Chisholm, the first black woman elected to Congress in 1968.

When Shirley Chisholm announced her candidacy for the Democratic presidential nomination in 1972, she became the first black candidate for a major party’s nomination just four years after she had become the first ever black woman in Congress. In typical fashion, she acknowledged the landmark but knew it was beside the point: “I am not the candidate of black America, although I am black and proud. I am not the candidate of the women’s movement of this country, although I am a woman and I’m equally proud of that.”

What she emphasized was: “I am the candidate of the people of America.”

In a set of interviews that extend from the first major profile by Susan Brownmiller to her final interview documenting her life and reflecting on her legacy, Shirley Chisholm reveals her disciplined and demanding childhood, the expectations on her placed by her family and the public, her tireless advocacy for the poorest and most disadvantaged in the halls of government, and the darkening course of American history. But on her legacy, Chisholm had one priority: “I’d like them to say that Shirley Chisholm had guts. That’s how I’d like to be remembered.”

Fred Rogers: The Last Interview Fred Rogers

Fred Rogers’ gentle spirit and passion for children’s television takes centre stage in this collection of interviews spanning his nearly forty-year career.

Fred Rogers was the much-loved host of the public television show ‘Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood,’ which ran on PBS in America from 1968 to 2001. A half-hour educational children’s programme that focussed on young children’s social and emotional needs, it changed the face of children’s television and changed the way experts thought about the educational power of media.

‘It would be difficult to overstate Rogers’ influence on American culture, or the esteem in which he is still held.’ Guardian

‘With soft words and an open heart, the former Presbyterian minister helped guide children through the complex tragedies of the adult world, whether they be death, divorce, or war.’ The Independent

Nearly twenty years after his death, Fred Rogers remains a source of comfort and fond memories for generations who grew up watching him. But perhaps his most lasting legacy was demonstrating the power of simply being nice to other people.

Also a Presbyterian minister, this collection of inspiration interviews highlights the values Rogers sought to represent: respect, compassion, kindness, integrity and humility. It includes his fiery (for him) 1969 senate testimony that saved PBS and his final interview with Diane Rehm.

Johnny Cash: The Last Interview Johnny Cash

Johnny Cash seemed like the stuff of legend when he was alive, and even more so as he achieved something close to sainthood in death. The interviews collected here bring us closer to the actual man: brilliant, fallible, introspective, and longing for redemption.

Mythmaker, philosopher, sinner, and saint, Johnny Cash is perhaps the quintessential American icon.

Though often rebellious and unruly, he rarely spoke without intention, sincerity, and a bit of poetry. The interviews here spotlight that inimitable rhetorical style, and the fascinating diversity of subjects that made him as relatable as he was mysterious.

‘Truly he is what the land and country is all about, the heart and soul of it personified… If we want to know what it means to be mortal, we need look no further than the Man in Black.’ Bob Dylan

From a hopped up early interview with Pete Seeger, to a meditation on sobriety, to the last interview in which he stares calmly into the face of death, this collection brings together decades of insight as deeply profound as the unforgettable baritone of The Man in Black himself.

His genre-spanning songs and sound embraced country, rock and roll, rockabilly, blues, folk, and gospel.

John Lewis: The Last Interview John Lewis

Featuring interviews of civil rights activist and congressman John Lewis at almost every stage of his career, this collection illustrates why Lewis has become a human rights icon and remains an inspiration to activists today.

Civil rights icon and long time Georgia Congressman John Lewis was the youngest and last survivor of the Big Six civil rights activists, a group led by the Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. Throughout Lewis’s long and storied career he maintained a seemingly unwavering hope for a better future.

‘[Lewis] loved this country so much that he risked his life and his blood so that it might live up to its promise.’

Barack Obama

This hope can be traced throughout the interviews collected here. From a young activist testifying in the aftermath of Bloody Sunday to recounting the violence he met as a Freedom Rider to an elder statesman inspired by today’s civil rights activists, this collection forms a portrait of a man whose life was spent fighting for a better world and never lost hope.

Eve has a carefully curated online life, works occasionally, and texts constantly with her best friend, Ezra. Basically, she is an archetypal L.A. millennial. She has also been carrying on a yearlong conversation with her deceased friend Miggy over text. But when Ezra goes missing on the anniversary weekend of Miggy’s death, Eve feels like her world is shattering.

Praise for The Ghost Network: ‘A smart and thorny debut novel...

Eve starts to spiral as her friends try to convince her that she’s overreacting, and ghosts—both real and metaphorical—continue to haunt her. When she uncovers clues to a life Ezra kept hidden, Eve starts to question how much she really knows about her best friend... and herself.

Until the World Shatters

Truth, Lies, and the Looting of Myanmar

Daniel Combs

This first in-depth piece of reportage about the largest natural resource heist in Asia reveals Myanmar’s world of secret-keepers and truthtellers.

In Myanmar, where civil war, repressive government, and the $40 billion a year jade industry have shaped life for decades, everyone is fighting for their own version of the truth. Until the World Shatters takes us deep into a world in which journalists seek to overcome censorship and intimidation, ethnic minorities wage guerilla war against a government they claim refuses to grant basic human rights; devout Buddhists launch violent anti-Muslim campaigns; and artists try to build their own havens of free expression.

In the city of Yangon we meet Phoe Wa, a young photojournalist pursuing his dream at a time when the government is jailing reporters and nationalist voices are on the rise. In Myanmar’s far north, we meet Bum Tsit who is caught between the insurgent army his family supports and the business and military leaders his career depends on. His attempt to get rich quickly leads him to Myanmar’s biggest, worst kept secret: the connection between the jade industry and the longest running war in the world.

Until the World Shatters weaves Phoe Wa and Bum Tsit’s stories to reveal a larger portrait of Myanmar’s history, politics, and people in a time and place where public trust has disappeared.

Debt 10th anniversary hardback edition The First 5,000 Year

David Graeber, with an introduction by Thomas Piketty A new 10th anniversary hardback edition of the groundbreaking classic that turns everything you know about money, debt, and society on its head, by revered anthropologist David Graeber: an with a new introduction by Thomas Pikeetty.

Before there was money, there was debt. For more than 5,000 years, since the beginnings of the first agrarian empires, humans have used elaborate credit systems to buy and sell goods–that is, long before the invention of coins or cash. It is in this era that we also first encounter a society divided into debtors and creditors¬which lives on in full force to this day.

‘Fascinating… Graeber’s book is not just thought-provoking, but also exceedingly timely.’ Financial Times ‘Every once in a while, a thinker revolutionises the way we see the world and helps us reimagine the things we once took for granted.

Graeber’s work had a profound impact on the thinking behind a new wave of political action.’

New Statesman

So says anthropologist David Graeber in a stunning reversal of conventional wisdom. He shows that arguments about debt and debt forgiveness have been at the centre of political debates from Renaissance Italy to Imperial China, as well as sparking innumerable insurrections. He also brilliantly demonstrates that the language of the ancient works of law and religion (words like “guilt,” “sin,” and “redemption”) derive in large part from ancient debates about debt, and shape even our most basic ideas of right and wrong. We are still fighting these battles today.

Midnight’s Borders

A People’s History of Modern India

Suchitra Vijayan

The first true people’s history of modern India, told through a five-year, 9,000 mile journey across its many contested borders.

Sharing borders with six countries and spanning a geography that extends from Pakistan to Myanmar, India is the world’s largest democracy and second most populous country. Yet most of us don’t understand it, or the violent history still playing out there. In fact, India as we know it didn’t exist until the map of the subcontinent was redrawn in the middle of the 20th century—the powerful repercussions of which are still being felt across South Asia.

To tell the story of political borders in the subcontinent, Suchitra Vijayan spent five years travelling India’s 9,000-mile land border. Now, in this stunning work of narrative reportage, she shares what she learned on that groundbreaking journey. With profound empathy and a novelistic eye for detail, Vijayan shows us the forgotten people and places in the borderlands and brings us face-to-face with the legacy of colonialism and the stain of extreme violence and corruption. The result is the granular portrait of modern India we’ve been missing.

An Appalachian Reckoning

An intimate portrait of Appalachia, East Kentucky, an area still beset by the worst poverty in the US, tracing how events at the start of the new millennium continue to impact life in the region and the soul of the nation as a whole.

“Most people who live in Louisville have never been to Eastern Kentucky and have no idea what’s happening there. We would want you to cover the area like a foreign correspondent would.”

That’s what Alan Maimon’s editor at the Louisville Courier-Journal told him in a job interview in the early days of the 21st century.

When Maimon took the job and arrived in Hazard, Kentucky as the Journal’s regional bureau chief, he realized that he was reporting on a much bigger story than the county’s otherness. It was a region in the grip of ecological devastation, a man-made prescription pill epidemic, and where the aftermath of September 11th was taking an outsize toll. He witnessed first hand the encroaching structural forces that would keep the region in poverty for decades to follow, even as many of those forces remain unacknowledged today.

Through the stories he covered then, and follows up on today, Maimon offers a unique perspective in an age when media outlets have cut back or eliminated coverage of the most distressed regions in America.

The Blind Accordionist C.D. Rose

A supposedly long lost collection of fable-like stories supposedly written by the little-known middle European writer Maxim Guyavitch ... with a helpful intro and afterword making it hilariously clear that the keyword is “supposedly.”

In the novel Who’s Who When Everyone is Someone Else, the character “C.D. Rose” (not to be confused with the author C.D. Rose) searches an unnamed middle-European city for the longlost manuscript of a little-known writer named Maxim Guyavitch. That search was fruitless, but in The Blind Accordionist, “C.D.

Futsal

The Story of an Indoor Football Revolution

Jamie Fahey

Futsal, a form of indoor football, is one of the fastest growing sports in the world. Jamie Fahey uncovers its global stories, tactical innovations and fascinating history. With an introduction by Roberto Martínez.

Futsal is one of the fastest-growing sports on the planet: over 60 million people play this lightningfast and tactically intricate variation of indoor football. Despite its growing status, however, futsal’s history remains largely unknown and untold.

Jamie Fahey is a leading futsal expert and qualified youth coach. He spent his childhood playing endless football matches in the shattered urban landscape of 1980s Liverpool – on the same streets later graced by Wayne Rooney, the ‘last true street footballer’. Yet when Fahey’s own footballing career stalled, he realised he had been unwittingly learning the skills that pointed to his true passion.

‘Superb - as stylish as any of the great Brazilians whose skills gave us this sport.’ Daniel Taylor, author of I Believe in Miracles ‘From Rivellino to Rooney, Sao Paulo to Liverpool, Fahey brings the fascinating history of futsal alive to show why it remains such an important influence today.’

Andy Hunter, Guardian

In Futsal: The Story of an Indoor Football Revolution, Fahey makes the case for futsal’s transformative grassroots effect, both in the UK and abroad. He also tells the story of futsal’s politics, tactics and personalities – and in doing so, illuminates a hidden corner of sporting history.

Gold, Oil, and Avocados

A Recent History of Latin America in Sixteen Commodities

Andy Robinson

The past decade has seen major political upheaval in Latin America–from Brazil to Chile to Venezuela to Bolivia¬–but to understand what happened, ask first where your quinoa and lithium batteries came from...

The dawn of the 21st century was full of promise for Latin America. After military dictatorships and CIA-backed coups plagued South and Central America throughout the Cold War, a new set of leaders took control as history came to an end, armed with programs to reduce poverty and reclaim national wealth.

Today, those leaders have fallen like dominos.

Where did the dreams of this “pink tide” go?

Look no further than the original culprits of Latin American disenfranchisement: resource-rich land and unscrupulous extraction.

‘Five hundred years after the colonization of the Americas, the lure of new riches keeps open the veins through which coltan, oil, lithium, soy, niobium and avocados now flow ... Andy Robinson gives names and surnames to the new looters, the new holy cross, the new swords.

And they are more frightening than the pirates who flew the skull and crossbones.’ Juan Carlos Monedero, Professor of Political Science, UCM

Joining the old staples like gold and bananas that underscored the original plunder of the Americas are a new generation of valuable resources to power new technologies and eco-friendly lifestyles: coltan for smartphones, lithium for electric cars, and avocados for guacamole to name a few. Roving reporter, Andy Robinson, takes readers from the salt planes of Chile to the depths of the Amazonian jungle to stitch together the story of Latin America’s last decade, showing how the imperial plunder of the past carries on today under a new name.

Hillbilly Nationalists, Urban Race Rebels, and Black Power Interracial Solidarity in 1960-70s New Left Organizing

Amy Sonnie & James Tracy

The story of some of the most important and little-known activists of 1960s America, in a deeply sourced narrative history in a new, tenth anniversary edition.

Inspired by the Civil Rights movement, the Black Panthers, and progressive populism, some of the most important and little-known American activists of the 1960s were poor and working-class radicals.

Historians of the period have traditionally emphasized the work of white college activists who courageously took to the streets to protest the war in Vietnam and continuing racial inequality. Poor and working-class whites have often been painted as spectators, reactionaries, and, even, racists. But authors James Tracy and Amy Sonnie disprove this.

‘This book is, without question, the definitive resource for scholars, students, and activists interested in some of the most innovative and understudied coalitional politics of the New Left.’ Darrel Enck-Wanzer, editor of The Young Lords: A Reader ‘A beautiful, powerful, surprising account of class-based interracial organizing.’ Robin D.G. Kelley, author of Freedom Dreams

Through over ten years of research, interviewing activists along with unprecedented access to their personal archives, Tracy and Sonnie tell a crucial, untold story of the New Left. Their deeply sourced narrative history shows how poor and working-class individuals from diverse backgrounds cooperated and drew strength from one another. The groups they founded redefined community organizing, and transformed the lives and communities they touched. With a new introduction by Roxanne Dunbar-Ortiz Previous edition: 9781935554660

Just Thieves

Gregory Galloway Just Thieves is a down and dirty gem of a tale, a twisty and twisted crime novel that evokes the worlds of George V. Higgins, Patricia Highsmith, and David Mamet.

Rick and Frank are recovering addicts and accomplished house thieves whose partnership extends beyond their professional lives. They do not steal randomly – they steal according to order, hired by a mysterious handler. The jobs run routinely until they’re tasked with taking a seemingly worthless trophy: an object that generates interest and obsession out of proportion to its apparent value.

Praise for As Simple As Snow: ‘[a] quirky, engrossing debut… this rich, complex puzzle is the work of a talented author.’ Publishers Weekly

Just as the robbery is completed, the two are involved in a freak car accident that sets off a chain of events and Frank disappears with the trophy. As Rick tries to find Frank, he is forced to confront his past, upending both his livelihood and his sense of reality. The narrative builds steadily into a powerful and shocking climax. Revelling in its con-artistry and double-crosses, Just Thieves is a nail-biting, noir-ish exploration of the working lives of two unforgettable crooks and the hidden forces that rule and ruin their lives.

‘One of the best books I’ve read in a long, long time.’ Kaye Gibbons, author of Ellen Foster ‘This strange tale manages to creep under your skin, and to stay there for some time.’ People 14th October 2021 - 9781612199375 - £16.99 - 272pp - HB Fiction - Territory: WORLD - EPUB: 9781612199382 Gregory Galloway is the author of the YA novels The 39 Deaths of Adam Strand and the Alex Award-winning As Simple As Snow.

FICTION - OCTOBER 2021

Night in Tehran Philip Kaplan

Based on historic events, and frighteningly relevant to today’s headlines – a taut thriller set in Tehran in the days leading up to the Iranian Revolution.

Tehran, 1978. With a collapsing economy and street demonstrations growing in size, number, and violence, the ailing Shah of Iran responds with increasing brutality. CIA operative David Weiseman, posing as a representative of the US State Department, is sent in to the heart of the tumult with a grievously difficult assignment: To convince the Shah to step down, and find a strong, democratically-minded replacement – before farright religious extremists win the day.

‘This taut and fast-paced novel has a particularly compelling feature: Philip Kaplan, after a career in the State Department, brings to his book a sharp political and international sophistication – rare in thrillers, abundant in Night in Tehran.’

Alan Furst

Seeking to build a secret local network to pull off his mission, Weiseman finds himself drawn deeper and deeper into a shadowy world of unscrupulous operatives from other governments, covert back alley meetings with scheming ayatollahs, military officers, politicians, and even officers from SAVAK (the Shah’s vicious secret police).

And then there’s the beautiful Françoise, a foreign correspondent he keeps encountering in unexpected places, and to whom he feels an undeniable attraction – she’s surely a spy, but for whom? Whom can he trust when his own life is on the line?

FICTION - NOVEMBER 2021

The Bloodless Boy Robert J. Lloyd

A rip-snorting new thriller set in Restoration London that introduces two new detectives, Hooke and Hunt of the Royal Society.

The City of London, 1678. New Year’s Day. The body of a young boy, drained of his blood and with a sequence of numbers inscribed on his skin, is discovered on the snowy bank of the Fleet River.

With London gripped by hysteria, where rumors of Catholic plots and sinister foreign assassins abound, Sir Edmund Bury Godfrey, the powerful Justice of Peace for Westminster, is certain of Catholic guilt in the crime. He enlists Robert Hooke, the Curator of Experiments of the Royal Society, and his assistant, Harry Hunt, to help his enquiry. Sir Edmund confides to Hooke that the bloodless boy is not the first to have been discovered. He also presents Hooke with a cipher that was left on the body.

‘The Bloodless Boy is a cracker that had me gripped from the first chapter and me on edge until the end.’

Julian Woodford, author of The Boss of Bethnal Green

That same morning Henry Oldenburg, the Secretary of the Royal Society, blows his brains out. A disgraced Earl is released from the Tower of London, bent on revenge against the King, Charles II.

‘Lloyd really excels in his descriptions of London, and his understanding of Seventeenth Century science and medicine at the dawn of the Enlightenment.’ Jemahl Evans, author of The Last Roundhead

Wary of the political hornet’s nest they are walking into – and using evidence rather than paranoia in their pursuit of truth – Hooke and Hunt must discover why the boy was murdered, and why his blood was taken. Moreover, what does the cipher mean?
