24/7 by Jonathan Crary

Late Capitalism and the Ends of Sleep

This thought-provoking exploration delves into the relentless pace of modern life, where the boundaries between day and night, work and rest, have blurred into a continuous cycle of activity. It critiques the pervasive influence of capitalism and technology, which have transformed time into a commodity, eroding the natural rhythms of human existence. The narrative examines the societal and psychological impacts of a world that never sleeps, urging readers to reflect on the implications of a 24/7 culture on individual well-being and collective consciousness.
