Pressed for Time by Judy Wajcman
The technologically tethered, iPhone-addicted figure is an image we can easily conjure. Isn't technology supposed to make our lives easier? In this title, the author lets technology off the hook, arguing that it does not simply cause time pressure or the inexorable acceleration of everyday life.
"Across her books, Wajcman has chosen issues and problematics that needed to be addressed, examined, and re-interpretedAll her books share an intense engagement with major conditions that affect many of us. In this book she gives us her kind of analysis of time - its presences and absences, its visible and invisible vectors." -Saskia Sassen, author of Expulsions: Brutality and Complexity in the Global Economy
