Saving Time

In this thought-provoking audiobook, Jenny Odell challenges the prevailing notion that time is defined by profit, exploring how our current rhythm is harmful and unsustainable. Drawing inspiration from pre-industrial, ecological, and geological perspectives, she offers alternative models for experiencing time that emphasize patience, waiting, and natural rhythms. Odell encourages us to imagine a life rooted in more humane and hopeful ways of living beyond the demands of the work-centric clock. Ultimately, the book invites listeners to reimagine our relationship with time and consider how embracing different temporalities might save us and the planet.
