Non Things by Byung-Chul Han

Contending that contemporary digital and consumer cultures have reduced objects to interchangeable data and mere use-values, the book diagnoses a loss of presence, singularity, and relational depth in material life and argues for reclaiming a mode of attention that preserves the ‘thingness’ of things: a tactility, silence, and contemplative relation that resists commodification and restores aesthetic and ethical meaning to everyday objects and practices.
