Can a society function without clocks or calendars? How to conceive a life without schedules, appointments or dates?
This book is an analysis of subjective time, where the author analyzes the way in which it is perceived in areas as varied as sport and illness, as well as the way we manage it and make use of it to make decisions. It is also a reflection of the way we live with the uncertainty of waiting, immediacy, memory, associations and forgetfulness.
