Enjoy this book Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock by Jenny Odell.. AI-Generated.
Jenny Odell’s Saving Time: Discovering a Life Beyond the Clock builds on her earlier work, How to Do Nothing, by delving deeper into the concept of time and how it shapes our lives, society, and environment. Odell’s central argument is that the traditional structures of time, particularly those driven by industrialization and capitalism, have not been designed with human wellness or the natural world in mind. Instead, they serve the interests of productivity and profit, often to the detriment of individual and collective well-being.

Book Spotlight: Perception Check by Astrid Knight
Her favorite tabletop roleplaying game is real, and her kidnapped childhood best friend is trapped in a far off land. Will she be able to save her? Let's roll initiative! Violet Spence wants nothing more than to have a normal life. After witnessing her childhood best friend get abducted by monsters, that’s easier said than done. At twenty-three years old, Violet cannot seem to move past that fateful night ten years ago. Her only solace is Mages of Velmyra, a tabletop roleplaying game filled with goblins, fairies, and all-powerful magicians. But of course, that’s all fantasy. Or, so she thought. As it turns out, the land of Velmyra is very real and the home of the monsters that took her best friend. With the help of her friends (and the creator of the game itself), Violet must navigate the once-fictional creatures and powerful mages of Velmyra to retrieve a set of ancient relics—all in the hopes that the journey will lead her back to her friend. But for Violet, fighting monsters and magic workers doesn’t seem nearly as terrifying as confronting her own demons. And she’ll soon realize fighting the battle within herself can be just as tough as those fought against demigods. Perception Check is the magical first installment of the Mages of Velmyra Saga, great for fans of Dungeons and Dragons, Critical Role, and The Magicians. With endearing and hilarious characters, an exploration of mental health and trauma, LGBTQ+ representation, gut-wrenching twists, and a whirlwind of an ending, you will never want to leave the world of Velmyra. NOTE: Perception Check deals with the topics of mental health (specifically depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress disorder, and suicidality) with mentions of childhood sexual assault, alcohol abuse, and animal violence.

The Abyss Beyond
In the far reaches of the cosmos, beyond the most distant galaxies, there exists something far more terrifying than empty space—a void so deep, so dark, and so vast that it defies comprehension. This void is not merely the absence of stars or matter, but a region of pure emptiness, a realm where the very fabric of space and time appears to unravel. It’s a darkness so profound that even light seems reluctant to enter, and what lies within has long been a mystery, untouched by human exploration or understanding.
