Jenny Odell: Saving Time (Hardcover, 2023, Vintage) 4 stars

Our daily experience, dominated by the corporate clock that so many of us contort ourselves …

somewhat a letdown

3 stars

Less revelatory than her How To Do Nothing or Bridle's Ways of Being, the intent is there to re-examine the colonial capitalist and puritan influences on time's central role in living - our drive for efficiency, self-improvement, fixed hours and seasons - but even if the message is to de-focus, this is a scattered book. "The point isn't to live more, to but to be more alive in any given moment."
