Al Mohafezoun Ala Al Waqt

Product details

This book explores our obsession with time and our desire to measure, sell, photograph, execute, commemorate, and imbue it with meaning. It examines how, over the past 250 years, time has become such a dominant and urgent force in our lives, and asks why, after tens of thousands of years of gazing at the heavens in search of vague and fickle guidance, we now receive such precise signals from our phones and computers, not just once or twice a day, but constantly and obligatorily.

This book has two simple aims: to tell some enlightening stories, and to wonder whether we have all become completely insane.
