J.G. Ballard: The Voices of Time. London: J.M. Dent & Sons, 1984 (PB Ed.: London: Phoenix, 1992) [This is a collection of Ballard's short stories about time. Especially recommended for our work here: Chronopolis (1960), The Garden of Time (1962), and of course also The Voices of Time (1960). Ah, and do not miss The Sound Sweep (1960). In short: highly recommended in general. And a must read for those who'll join the TBC construction site ;))]

In this quote Carr gives a clear overview of how our perception of time is shaped by the use of clocks and what this does to our mind.
