Recenzii

One of our most lucid thinkers... What makes this book so original is the way Hoffman uses the tools of contemporary science... Her description of our subjective inner world is most arresting... As we go on, it becomes clear that the true subject of this intriguing and highly readable book is the nature of being alive
Beautifully written and eloquent
A topical study that should elicit a moment of pause among those of us in a real hurry
A much-needed reminder that how we experience time is a cultural phenomenon
Written with a nicely leisured elegance, and contains many intriguing parts... eye-opening
