Since the industrial revolution, when everything ran by clockwork,
people have understood how important it is to live in the moment.
But over time our world has grown increasingly busy, and we've lost
our ability to truly savour each unique experience and the simple
pleasures the world has to offer. Cultural commentator and critic
Stephen Bayley seeks to explain what real value is: it's about
taking the time and making the effort to appreciate things, of
understanding the permanent charm of modest daily rituals performed
with care and feeling. Of caring about appearances and meaning. Of
being bold in matters of taste. Of fully understanding the source
of lasting pleasure. Of making every encounter with an object or
person meaningful. Value is an elegiac account of what's recently
been lost in the digital apocalypse. But also an enthusiastic
anticipation of what we can regain in a post-viral, more analogue
and more thoughtful world.
