Saving time

£12.99

Our daily experience, dominated by the corporate clock that so many of us contort ourselves to fit inside, is destroying us. It wasn’t built for people, it was built for profit. This is a book that tears open the seams of reality as we know it – the way we experience time itself – and rearranges it, reimagining a world not centered around work, the office clock, or the profit motive.

Description

We’re living on the wrong clock. Now is our moment to rethink.

In this provocative follow-up to How to Do Nothing, Jenny Odell challenges our cultural obsession with productivity. Drawing on philosophy, ecology and art, Saving Time argues that time is not money – it’s life itself.

Odell explores how the ‘clock of capitalism’ dictates our days and disconnects us from natural rhythms, proposing instead a more humane, ecological understanding of time rooted in seasons, community and care. This Sunday Times-bestselling thinker offers both critique and comfort, inviting readers to pause, breathe and imagine freer ways of living.
