Review of "Alien phenomenology, or, What it's like to be a thing" on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
Every once in a while, I pick up a book with no expectations. Ian's book on OOO was more of a philosophy book to me, since I had no context prior to picking it up.. and I really enjoyed it. I have often thought how things related to us, impacts our perspective of those things. In this book we treat every object as it's own thing, valuable in its own right. And as such, it drives us to look at objects from a more alien perspective then just our own human view of the world. Highly recommend this book as a refreshing perspective to everyday objects.
