While noting the difficulties in regulating and synchronising so many timepieces, the book expands our understanding of the development of modern time discipline, delving into the ways we have standardised time and describing how timekeepers have served as political, social, and cultural tools in a society that does not merely value time, but regards access to time as a natural-born right, a privilege of being an American. | |
