Summary

It is time to reevaluate the merits of the inconspicuous life, to search out some antidote to continuous exposure, and to reconsider the value of going unseen, undetected, or overlooked in this new world. Might invisibility be regarded not simply as refuge, but as a condition with its own meaning and power? The impulse to escape notice is not about complacent isolation or senseless conformity, but about maintaining identity, autonomy, and voice. This book explores the idea of invisibility in nature, art, and science as part of the search for a more joyful and peaceful way of life in an increasingly surveilled and publicity-obsessed world
