The Meaning of Time

Will Self reflects on our sense of the meaning of time and the changes in our perception brought about by new technologies.

"Obviously the world wide web and the internet have played a key role in making each and every one of us a little hot spot of Nowness: over the past twenty years as more and more people have chosen to spend more and more of their time in this virtual realm, so we've sought to furnish its fuzzy immensity with our memories, individual and collective."
