This is an awesome book if anyone hasn't checked it out.
It goes through how the perception of time has effected the
growth of the world and culture, explaining this new created
(supported and aided by Brian Eno) that is a new kind of
clock to help us think differently. definitely worth
checking out

Sounds cool! Reminds me a bit of Martin Amis' "Times Arow",
a awsomely fucked up novel about a guy that experience his
own life in reverse, from death to birth. The thing is, he
has next to no memory of his life... its a masterpiece!

It's a little difference in the sense that it is not
fiction, but rather based off of scientific finding, which
are then incorporated into the creation of this new clock,
but cool none the less
