Point Break: Modern C(r)apitalism's Plastic Fantastic and the Good Enough Revolution

What the the Good Enough Revolution aims for is absolute immediacy via the dissolution of any obstacles, impediments, contrarieties or difficulties that in the friction they create might alert us to our exploitation. In an age of cloud computing, we ourselves become like clouds, drifting from device to device, app to app, each seamlessly and unassumingly integrated into our environment, which they have transformed into a turnkey milieu of worktainment and sweated leisure. If in years past we were encouraged to be good stewards of the things that enhanced our productivity — keeping our cars running, making sure we have internet access at home, regularly upgrading to more powerful laptops — the Good Enough Revolution relieves us of even this responsibility. By recovering minutes and seconds from boot-ups, file accessing, uploads and whatnot, the Good Enough Revolution valorizes prevailing worklife trends, in which constant, frenzied activity replaces deliberate.
