Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock
by Jenny Odell
Like "how to do nothing", this book sounds like it might be about one thing but then goes deep in another direction. In this case, it had a lot of relatable themes like climate dread, existential angst, nihilism, feeling bad about the pandemic, feeling bad about the smoke season (especially in fall 2020 in california), meandering through familiar locations around the bay area...
I think the bit about the history of time linked with capitalism was better explained in the 4,000 weeks book.
The part that stuck with me the most was the idea of an axis of time perpendicular to the sequential one we usually think about, and like, upwellings of time where a lot of meaningful things can happen all at once.
