Abstract

This review on the book 'Digital Lethargy: Dispatches from an Age of Disconnection' by Tung-Hui Hu explores Hu's conceptualisation of digital lethargy through a spiritual philosophical lens. Hu, who navigates this technological phenomenon of digital lethargy using various forms of performance art, challenges the idea that digital technologies support individuation when users are, in fact, tired of having to individuate. The review examines how Hu offers an alternative route to despair and destruction to those unfairly shouldering the burden of a biased digital age; a route, that perhaps, highlights the power held in the moments of idleness, of timepass, of lethargy, of endurance that exist almost imperceptibly between the forced lively clicks, swipes and movements of the digital world.
