Both of Jenny Odell's books are great. She is clearly an academic, and it comes across in her writing--lots of great points interspersed between research and anecdotes. So it takes time to read and I do find that I drift off and needed breaks. But worth it!
If you want to save time, don’t read this book. If you do, only read the first 100 pages or so. While the initial part about the invention of clocks and standard time and the relationship with colonialism was good, the mess that followed really made the whole book tedious. Jenny Odell writes a long annotated bibliography of random sources, many of which sound worth reading, but sadly her book itself is not.
Had to skim most of it because it was super dense, but I'm a sucker for any book about the concept of T I M E
I, ironically, just don't have time for this right now. (Also, not nearly as thought-provoking and insightful as her first book was to me.)
A book I'll be thinking about (and trying to understand!) for a long time.
