TIME, TENDERIZED

A Human-First Field Guide to the Elasticity of Time

Big news. Another book deal. YES! My narrative nonfiction book, 𝗧𝗜𝗠𝗘, 𝗧𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗘𝗥𝗜𝗭𝗘𝗗, will be published by Beacon Press and distributed worldwide by Penguin Random House. Coming to a bookstore near you in summer 2027 💥

Huge thanks to editor Maya Fernandez for championing my vision of a book about our modern understanding of time, and to my agent, Katharine Sands, whose faith in my delusional confidence said, “Okay, let’s find this idea a home,” and then sold it. I’m overjoyed to be joining Beacon Press, a publisher grounded in social justice and fighting the good fight since 1854. To have my work sit alongside icons like James Baldwin, Octavia E. Butler, Mary Oliver, and Viktor Frankl is a dream. I’m honored to add one small line to that history.

From sundials to algorithms, an exploration of how life compresses minutes into moments, and what science and culture teach us about reclaiming time as something human.

Hustle culture, instant gratification, around-the-clock notifications on your phone…the world screams, “Go! Go! Go!” But what if Daft Punk’s 𝙃𝙖𝙧𝙙𝙚𝙧, 𝘽𝙚𝙩𝙩𝙚𝙧, 𝙁𝙖𝙨𝙩𝙚𝙧, 𝙎𝙩𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙜𝙚𝙧 got it wrong? What if, as journalist Carl Honoré says, “In a world addicted to speed, slowness is a superpower”?

Because time might be money, but it’s also breath, heartbeat, and history. And the more we understand who controls it, the better chance we have to take back a little for ourselves.
