Description
Reevaluating the merits of an inconspicuous life is essential in today's world. As we're constantly encouraged to reveal and share ourselves, the notion of disappearing has never been more alluring.
Akiko Busch explores her own uneasiness with this arrangement and what she senses is a widespread desire for a less scrutinized way of life. She delves into various ways of disappearing, from virtual reality goggles to the experiences of others, in search of a sense of autonomy and voice.
This unique book offers a fresh perspective on invisibility as a condition with its own meaning and power. It's an exhilarating read that overturns the assumption that fame and visibility equate to success and happiness.
