An essay published in 2022. Han argues that we are moving from an age of things to an age of non-things: information, which displaces solid objects and leaves the world weightless. We store data instead of memories and gather followers without meeting anyone. The book offers a philosophy of the smartphone and a critique of artificial intelligence, and makes the case for the tangible and the silence lost among so many stimuli.

Why people still read it

Why we only look at used copies

In Spain, Law 10/2007 fixes the price of new books: the publisher sets it and shops can only take 5% off. Amazon, FNAC and your local bookshop all cost the same. The only place the price moves is second-hand.
