But has that made our lives more gratifying? Or has it just robbed us of the many simple pleasures that life has to offer?\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIn \u003cem\u003eThe Small Stuff\u003c\/em\u003e, Ian Bogost Bogost offers a manifesto for tuning into the tiny day-to-day opportunities for gratification. He argues that the simple, tactile pleasures of daily life have been replaced by sleek but soulless design. Meanwhile, the world around us is filled with sights, sounds, smells, tastes, and textures that we barely register. Far from being a nostalgia trip through a bygone era of analogue delights, Bogost aims to reframe our view of the world from merely functional into a site of joy and gratification.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eHumourous, thought-provoking, and practical, \u003cem\u003eThe Small Stuff\u003c\/em\u003e is a timely call to reclaim our connection with the physical world.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eCheck out the rest of our \u003c\/span\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/shop.designist.ie\/collections\/books\" target=\"_blank\"\u003ebooks \u003c\/a\u003e\u003cspan\u003e- we have a good few of them here at designist. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWho wrote it?\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIan Bogost\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big is it?                                                                                                                   \u003c\/strong\u003eHardback, 240 pages, 22 x 14 x 3 cm\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Argosy","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":58172628599116,"sku":"ARG-SMA-STU","price":25.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0073\/5892\/files\/ianbogost-thesmallstuff-designist-1.png?v=1784644449","url":"https:\/\/shop.designist.ie\/products\/the-small-stuff-the-sensory-enchantment-of-everyday-life","provider":"designist","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
