Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books about
the hidden lives of ordinary things. It may be responsible for a
greater improvement in human diet and longevity than any other
technology of the last two thousand years-but have you ever thought
seriously about your refrigerator? That box humming in the background
displays more than you might expect, even who you are and the society
in which you live. Jonathan Rees examines the past, present, and
future of the household refrigerator with the aim of preventing its
users from ever taking it for granted again. No mere container for
cold Cokes and celery stalks, the refrigerator acts as a mirror-and
what it reflects is chilling indeed. Object Lessons is published in
partnership with an essay series in The Atlantic.
