书籍介绍
“My adult life can be divided into two distinct parts,” Eula Biss writes, “the time before I owned a washing machine and the time after.” Having just purchased her first home, she now embarks on a roguish and risky self-audit of the value system she has bought into. The result is a radical interrogation of work, leisure, and capitalism. Described by The New York Times as a writer who “advances from all sides, like a chess player,” Biss brings her approach to the lived experience of capitalism. Playfully ranging from IKEA to Beyoncé to Pokemon, across bars and laundromats and universities, she asks, of both herself and her class, “In what have we invested?”

我好喜欢这个写作风格啊，举重若轻，so playful and so fun。内容其实没有多新，但是非常具体个人的角度还是看着很有趣的。今年也看了太多对消费主义对资本主义自我反思的书了……
一个即将步入中年、中产生活却依旧怀有几分 rebel 的个人化叙述。还是更喜欢 On Immunity，这本浅了点，前前后后 cue 到好多次 David Graeber。但剥开生活表层的、带有几分剥离的思考和写作节奏还是很不错的。
