The transformation of society from an agrarian to an industrial, and finally an urbanized way of living and working has created a fundamental change in our understanding of time: a 24\/7 mentality. The move from natural time to the digital age leads to a fragmentation of time that deeply affects our daily biological and social rhythm. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWe need a new approach to time to overcome our temporal system of clocks and calendars. This book investigates a new perception of time by exploring the concept of uchronia, a term derived from the Greek \u003cem\u003eu-topos\u003c\/em\u003e and meaning ‘no time’ or ‘non-time’. \u003cem\u003eUchronia\u003c\/em\u003e is a way of questioning, speculating on and designing new kinds of temporal systems that are more about being in tune than on time. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Birkhauser","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54222524383576,"sku":"9783035618105","price":43.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783035618105.jpg?v=1752074118","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/uchronia","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
