{"product_id":"against-convenience-tpb","title":"Gabe Bullard: Against Convenience [2026]","description":"A rousing call to question the cost of convenience and find a slower, more sustainable alternative\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAre we paying too high a price for 'easy'? When just about anything we want is a few taps away, why does it feel like something in our lives is missing?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom dinner delivered to your door in minutes, to relationships mediated by apps, we've always valued innovations that make life easier. But every convenience has a cost; if we don't pay it, someone else has to.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAgainst Convenience cuts through the noise, taking a hard look at the effect the services, apps and ideas that claim to simplify life are having on us as consumers and citizens: how do we spot convenience that is actually a false promise? How can we possibly live without them to live more sustainably? What real difference would it make?\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAn urgent call to re-examine our most 'convenient' choices, and the true cost of these to our minds, our peers, and our planet, award-winning journalist Gabe Bullard unpacks whether a slower, less convenient approach can, paradoxically, unlock a richer, more colourful existence.","brand":"Bullard, Gabe","offers":[{"title":"New","offer_id":54387303481683,"sku":"9780241766378","price":18.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0616\/4001\/6057\/files\/9780241766378.jpg?v=1784837833","url":"https:\/\/chaptersbookstore.com\/products\/against-convenience-tpb","provider":"Chapters Bookstore","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
