What We Are Reading Today: Saving Time by Jenny Odell

Jenny Odell’s “Saving Time,” offers us different ways to experience time — inspired by pre-industrial cultures, ecological cues, and geological timescales — that can bring within reach a more humane, responsive way of living.

“Saving Time” tugs at the seams of reality as we know it — the way we experience time itself — and rearranges it, imagining a world not centered on work, the office clock, or the profit motive. 

If we can “save” time by imagining a life, identity, and source of meaning outside these things, time might also save us.
