Summary:
The diaristic form of this publication is an attempt to feel and investigate the quality of time, making reference to Jonathan Crary, Bernard Stiegler, Yves Citton, Paul B.

Written in a style that borrows not from classical forms of theory or prose, but operates in between fiction and nonfiction to investigate the very concept of the contemporary, this book uses a quite old but often renewed method—in this sense a very contemporary one—consisting of starting from one’s own personal situation.
