New York Times Bestseller bull, from the author of How to Do Nothing comes a, paradigm-destroying new book ...about the various problems that swirl out from dominant conceptions of time, The New York Times Editors' Choice. Saving Time's real triumph lies in her road map for experiencing time outside the capitalist clock. Expect to feel changed by this radical way of seeing. Esquire In her first book, How to Do Nothing, Jenny Odell wrote about the importance of disconnecting from the attention economy, to spend time in quiet contemplation. But what if you don't have time to spend In order to answer this seemingly simple question, Odell took a deep dive into the fundamental structure of our society and found that the clock we live by was built for profit, not people. This is why our lives, even in leisure, have come to seem like a series of moments to be bought, sold, and processed ever more efficiently. Odell shows us how our painful relationship to time is inextricably connected not only to persisting social inequities but to the climate crisis, existential dread, and a lethal fatalism. This dazzling, subversive, and deeply hopeful book offers us different ways to experience time, inspired by pre-industrial cultures, ecological cues, and geological timescales.
