520    In moments of downtime - waiting for a friend to arrive or
       commuting to work - we pull out our phones for a few 
       minutes of distraction. Just as television reoriented the 
       way we think about living rooms, mobile devices have taken
       over the interstitial spaces of our everyday lives. Ethan 
       Tussey argues that these in-between moments have created a
       procrastination economy, an opportunity for entertainment 
       companies to create products, apps, platforms, 
       subscription services, micropayments, and interactive 
       opportunities that can colonize our everyday lives. But as
       businesses commoditize our free time, and mobile devices 
       become essential tools for promotion, branding and 
       distribution, consumers are using these devices as a means
       of navigating public and private space. These devices are 
       not just changing the way we spend and value our time, but
       also how we interact with others and transform our sense 
       of the politics of space. By examining the four main 
       locations of the procrastination economy - the workplace, 
       the commute, the waiting room, and the "connected" living 
       room - Ethan Tussey illuminates the relationship between 
       the entertainment industry and the digitally empowered 
       public. --|cProvided by publisher.
