2. The Longing For Less
Living with Minimalism
It traces the rise of modern minimal aesthetics across art, design, architecture, and technology, exploring why people crave simplicity and how that impulse has been packaged by markets and institutions. The author argues minimalism can free individuals from clutter but also function as a status marker and a mode of corporate branding that masks labor, inequality, and environmental costs.
