Beschreibung
Timekeepers is a book about our obsession with time and our desire to measure it, control it, sell it, film it, perform it, immortalise it and make it meaningful. It has two simple intentions: to tell some illuminating stories, and to ask whether we have all gone completely nuts.

Timekeepers is a book about why and how we are so obsessed with time. It doesn't acutally answer that question, it rather gives examples and explains things about timekeeping like how we got our time zones, how the watch industry works, etc. There where some really interesting facts but also some thingsthat were a bit offtopic and I didn't quite know why they are included in this book. I liked the beginning very much and have to admit my expectation were really high after the first pages and the book could live up to this. Still it was interesting and I learned some cool facts.
