Saving Time
By Jenny Odell
Categories: Self-Help
In Saving Time (2023), artist and writer Jenny Odell examines how people experience time and how economic pressures have turned it into a commodity to be optimised. Odell traces the history of clock time from factories and colonial plantations to productivity apps, and contrasts it with the time of geology, tides, plants and communities. She argues that rethinking time can ease anxiety about climate change and lead to more meaningful ways of living and acting together.
