The Idler is a bi-monthly magazine, devoted to its ethos of 'idling'. Founded in 1993 by Tom Hodgkinson and Gavin Pretor-Pinney, the publication's intention is to improve public perception of idling.[1]
The magazine combines the aesthetics of 1990s slacker culture and pre–Industrial Revolution idealism. The title comes from a series of essays by Samuel Johnson, published in 1758–59.
