Speed Limits
Where Time Went and Why We Have So Little Left
Book • 2014
In 'Speed Limits,' Mark C. Taylor delves into the paradox of modern life where technologies and innovations intended to save time and labor have instead accelerated our pace of life to the point of exhaustion.
Drawing from developments in religion, philosophy, art, technology, fashion, and finance, Taylor connects our speed-obsession with global capitalism, economic growth, and extreme competition.
He argues that these factors have brought us close to disaster, affecting us psychologically, environmentally, economically, and culturally.
Taylor invites readers to see their pace of life as a product of specific ideas, practices, and policies, and encourages a move towards a more deliberative and sustainable world by embracing slowness and reflection.
