In his novel, Point Omega, Don DeLillo writes:
It’s all embedded, the hours and minutes, words and numbers everywhere, he said, train stations, bus routes, taxi meters, surveillance cameras. It’s all about time, dimwit time, inferior time, people checking watches and other devices, other reminders. This is time draining out of our lives. Cities were built to measure time, to remove time from nature. There’s an endless counting down, he said.
It’s funny that Omega is also the brand of a Swiss luxury watch. Anyway, tonight, or rather tomorrow morning, we will slow down time a little – at least its perception and at least for a short moment – by turning our clocks one hour backward.
