Object Lessons is a series of short, beautifully designed books
about the hidden lives of ordinary things. Jet lag is a momentary
condition resulting from the human body and its inner clock being
pitched against the time-leaping effects of modern aviation. But
more than that, it is a situation that explains time, technology,
and the human body. Jet lag epitomizes the accelerated world we
live in. It makes the speed and discomfort of globalization
tangible on a personal level. Tracing physiological, temporal,
technological, and cultural meanings, Christopher J. Lee's Jet Lag
ponders our intrinsic human limits in the face of modern
innovation, revealing the latent costs of global cosmopolitanism
today. Object Lessons is published in partnership with an essay
series in The Atlantic.
