Synopsis

"Workers of the world, read TIMENERGY!" - Slavoj Žižek, quote from his Foreword in the second edition of TIMENERGY: Why You Have No Time or Energy.

Philosophers have traditionally taken for granted the one thing the rest of us are all missing: timenergy. Reliably repeatable blocks of time with energy in them, available socially, as a commons. Not the scraps of time-without-energy left after the shift, not the weekend spent recovering from the week. David McKerracher spent ten years researching and developing the concept, then wrote Timenergy in a single day in the lunch room of an Amazon warehouse; he refused to clock back on until it was finished, burning his PTO to buy the hours. A year later it was blessed by Slavoj Žižek, whose foreword here argues that McKerracher gets exhaustion better than Byung-Chul Han.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR: David McKerracher is a husband, father, philosopher, farmer, and self-identified “mediocre renaissance man.” He got an M.A. in critical theory and alternative education before leaving academia to found Theory Underground, an independent philosophy lecture-course platform, publishing house, and emerging school of thought. He is the author of Waypoint, and the editor-in-chief of Underground Theory. Born in the city but raised on a homestead in the woods, McKerracher has always been an outsider looking in, trying to understand himself and the world.
