Time has always been the great Given, a fact of existence which
cannot be denied or wished away; but the character of lived time is

money. In this look at life's most ineffable element, spanning
fields from biology and culture to psychoanalysis and neuroscience,
Eva Hoffman asks: are we coming to the end of time as we know it?
