About This Item
Synopsis
"We live with a lot of stuff. The average kitchen, for example, is home to stuff galore, and every appliance, every utensil, every thing, is compound - composed of tens, hundreds, even thousands of other things. Although each piece of stuff satisfies some desire, it also creates the need for even more stuff: cereal demands a spoon; a television demands a remote. Rich Gold calls this dense, knotted ecology of human-made stuff "the Plenitude." And in this book - at once cartoon treatise, autobiographical reflection, and practical essay in moral philosophy - he tells us how to understand and live with it."
