When just about anything we want is a few taps away, why does it feel like something in our lives is missing?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFrom dinner delivered to your door in minutes, to relationships mediated by apps, we've always valued innovations that make life easier. But every convenience has a cost; if we don't pay it, someone else has to.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAgainst Convenience cuts through the noise, taking a hard look at the effect the services, apps and ideas that claim to simplify life are having on us as consumers and citizens: how do we spot convenience that is actually a false promise? How can we possibly live without them to live more sustainably? What real difference would it make?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAn urgent call to re-examine our most 'convenient' choices, and the true cost of these to our minds, our peers, and our planet, award-winning journalist Gabe Bullard unpacks whether a slower, less convenient approach can, paradoxically, unlock a richer, more colourful existence.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gabe Bullard","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":67658309337331,"sku":"9780241766378","price":36.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0634\/4284\/5939\/files\/9780241766378.jpg?v=1791313466","url":"https:\/\/www.harryhartog.com.au\/products\/against-convenience-gabe-bullard-9780241766378","provider":"Harry Hartog Bookseller","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
