- Synopsis
- The turn of the millennium is characterised by exponential growth in everything related to communication – from the internet and email to air traffic. Tyranny of the Moment deals with the most perplexing paradoxes of this new information age. *BR**BR*Who would have expected that apparently timesaving technology results in time being scarcer than ever? And has this seemingly limitless access to information led to confusion rather than enlightenment?*BR**BR*Eriksen argues that slow time – private periods where we are able to think and correspond without interruption – is now one of the most precious resources we have.
