  Review: “There’s no mistaking the seriousness of the ideas that drive this intellectually sophisticated novel… [it] raises questions central to the survival of compassionate values in a threatening world.”
–Guardian, for Illuminations

“Hoffman draws upon disparate disciplines and forms of literature to probe the issues that haunt her generation.”
-Independent, for After such Knowledge

“Penetrating and luminous… as in Nabokov’s Lolita, written by another migrant to America who breathed life into his adopted literature tongue, Hoffman sounds her moral warning in language limpid and precise.”
-Guardian, for The Secret

Description: Time has always been the great Given, a fact of existence with cannot be denied or wished away; but the character of lived time is changing dramatically. Medical advances extended our longevity, while digital devices compress time into ever-briefer units. We can now exist in several time-zones at once, but we suffer from endemic shortages of time. We are working longer hours and blurring the distinctions between labour and leisure. For many, in an inversion of the old age adage, time has become more valuable than money.

How do such developments affect our societies and our selves? What impact do the hyper fast technologies – computers, video games, and instant communications – have on our capacity for concentration and reflection? The last decades have witnessed the rise of multi-tasking accidents and time-fragmenting emotional disorders. As we examine physiology and consciousness on ever more microscopic levels, what are we learning about the processes and patterns of time in our minds and bodies? Is there such a thing as natural human temporality, beyond which we venture at our peril?

In this radical exploration of 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 have known it?
