“Han’s message about the importance of recovering the art of inactivity makes a serious point: if we stay on the hamster wheel of activity, we risk self-destruction.
— Parliament Magazine

“A synthesis and expansion of Han’s earlier work on contemplation … reads like a précis for a new stage in Han’s writings, one with roots in his garden.”
— The Lamp

“… fascinating…. There is a palpable beauty, at once philosophical and aesthetic, to Han’s vision.”
— Joshua Cohen, Los Angeles Review of Books

“Han’s enquiries into the different regions of contemporary experience, including work, time, love and art, yield a remarkably consistent project of thought, a relentless critique of the spiritual and political privations of digital capitalism.”
— Aeon
