Description
How do we experience time, when our lives are shaped by the clock we live by? In her latest book, Jenny Odell explores the fundamental structure of our society and reveals that the clock was built for profit, not people. This has led to a painful relationship with time, connected to social inequities, the climate crisis, and existential dread.
Odell offers a different way to experience time, inspired by pre-industrial cultures, ecological cues, and geological timescales. She invites us to become stewards of the natural rhythms of life, where time is not reducible to standardized units. By imagining a life, identity, and source of meaning outside the office clock and profit motive, we might just "save" time and find a more humane way of living.
