À propos de cet audio
Drawing together developments in religion, philosophy, art, technology, fashion, and finance, Mark C. Taylor presents an original and rich account of a great paradox of our times: how the very forces and technologies that were supposed to free us by saving time and labor now trap us in a race we can never win. The faster we go, the less time we have, and the more we try to catch up, the farther behind we fall.
Connecting our speed-obsession with today's global capitalism, Taylor composes a grand narrative showing how commitments to economic growth and extreme competition, combined with accelerating technological innovation, have brought us close to disaster. Psychologically, environmentally, economically, and culturally, speed is taking a profound toll on our lives.

Completely worthwhile study of acceleration
A series of interconnected broad, historical sweeps comprises the backbone of this ambitious study of technology, economics, and media and the way they have shaped our relation to time and speed. The only drawback: Often I wish Taylor would stay on a topic longer to make more in-depth analysis.Taylor could have said more about post-humanism and education. Great explanations of money, industrialization, and consumption.
