Books like The plenitude by Rich Gold


Rich Gold examines the dense, interconnected world of human-made objects, which he terms the "Plenitude." He argues that each itemβ€”whether a spoon for cereal or a remote for a televisionβ€”generates the need for additional items, creating a cycle of demand. Through a blend of visual illustrations, autobiographical reflection, and philosophical argument, Gold offers a practical framework for understanding and managing this relentless cycle of consumption. The book invites readers to rethink the relationship between creativity, technology, and material culture, and to find strategies for living more intentionally within the modern ecosystem of endless goods.
