Exploring the cultural tension between work and idleness, this book examines the historical perception of slackers since the Industrial Revolution. It highlights how those who embrace leisure often challenge the prevailing work ethic, critiquing societal norms around productivity. Through various lenses, including literature and philosophy, it reveals the complexities of valuing rest and the art of doing nothing, suggesting that idleness can be a profound and challenging pursuit in a world that glorifies hard work.
