The sociology of speed : digital, organizational, and social temporalities edited by Judy Wajcman and Nigel Dodd - Oxford : Oxford University Press, c2017. - xiii, 210 p. : ill. ; 24 cm.
There is widespread perception that life is faster than it used to be. This book argues that popular and scholarly claims about acceleration gloss over the complex relationship of technology, speed and time. Rather than digital devices rushing us, our experience of always being rushed is the result of the priorities and parameters we ourselves set.
