All the Clocks Are Wrong!

About the Book

It is time for us to finally free ourselves from our subjugation to time! From time immemorial, people have preoccupied themselves to an ever-greater but more irrelevant degree with time. Instead of envisioning natural phenomena in which they themselves are implicated as timeless, they have attempted to get a grip on time to comprehend it, to impose time on life, or to tame life in a timely manner. In doing so, our species has not yet been able to come up with anything smarter than rendering time measurable, metricizing it in order to master it—a fatal error that, with no let up, still deludes us today.
