Informacje o e-booku
""Clock Time Control"" explores how standardized time, initially a neutral tool, has profoundly shaped society and individual lives.
The book examines the historical evolution of timekeeping, from ancient methods to modern atomic clocks, revealing how clock time revolutionized maritime navigation by enabling accurate longitude determination, and how it coordinated industrial production, impacting work patterns globally.
The book delves into the social impact of technology, particularly how standardized time, driven by economic and political forces, has influenced our work-life balance and even our circadian rhythms.
It highlights the shift from localized, natural time to an abstract system, arguing that this transition has, in some ways, alienated us from the environment.
