This book presents an exciting new theory of time for a world built
on hyper-fast digital media networks. Computers have changed the
human social experience enormously. We're becoming familiar with
many of the macro changes, but we rarely consider the complex,
underlying mechanics of how a technology interacts with our social,
political and economic worlds. And we cannot explain how the
mechanics of a technology are being translated into social
influence unless we understand the role of time in that process.
Offering an original reconsideration of temporality, Philip Pond
explains how super-powerful computers and global webs of connection
have remade time through speed. The book introduces key
developments in network time theory and explains their importance,
before presenting a new model of time which seeks to reconcile the
traditionally separate subjective and objective approaches to time
theory and measurement.
