Late Capitalism and the Ends of Sleep
Book •
In "24/7: Late Capitalism and the Ends of Sleep," Jonathan Crary examines how contemporary capitalism operates around the clock, eroding traditional boundaries between work and leisure.
Crary argues that the relentless pursuit of productivity and consumption has led to a state of constant wakefulness, disrupting natural rhythms and diminishing human experience.
The book explores the social, cultural, and psychological consequences of this 24/7 environment, highlighting the ways in which technology and consumerism contribute to a perpetual state of exhaustion and alienation.
Crary critiques the commodification of time and the erosion of collective life, calling for a reevaluation of our relationship with technology and a reclaiming of moments of rest and reflection.
"24/7" offers a critical perspective on the pervasive nature of late capitalism and its impact on individual and collective well-being.
