Description
In her first book, « How to Do Nothing, » Jenny Odell emphasized the need to disconnect from the « attention economy » for contemplation. In her latest work, she delves into society’s fundamental structure, revealing how our lives are dominated by a profit-driven clock. Odell explores the connection between our relationship with time, social inequalities, the climate crisis, existential fears, and fatalism. She offers alternative approaches to experiencing time, drawing inspiration from pre-industrial cultures and ecological cues. « Saving Time » challenges the conventional notion of time, urging us to become stewards of diverse life rhythms and imagine a world not solely focused on work and profit. Odell’s book reimagines the very essence of time and how it can save us from the constraints of a profit-driven existence.
