S6 E9: Faster: The Acceleration of Just About Everything by James Gleick

Welcome to The Book Dialogue, where thoughtful reading meets lively conversation.

In this episode, we dive into Faster: The Acceleration of Just About Everything by James Gleick, bestselling author of Genius and Chaos. With his signature wit and clarity, Gleick invites us to explore what it means to live in an age defined by speed.

“When every moment is measured, time seems to vanish.”

James Gleick, Faster

We’ve entered what he calls the “epoch of the nanosecond”—a world where time-saving devices multiply and yet somehow, we feel we have less and less time. Hurry sickness, microwave moments, and the quiet erosion of simple pleasures all come under the microscope.

Sarah brings her brilliant perspective to this conversation, offering a thoughtful lens on how Gleick’s insights connect to our everyday lives—how we eat, relate, love, and slow down (or don’t).

Whether you’ve read Faster or are simply feeling the rush of modern life, we invite you to pause with us for a while. Take a deep breath, settle in, and listen. The pace may be accelerating, but here, reflection still matters.

It seems that we are in a rush without knowing why. Saving seconds only to lose whole seasons.

Thank you for listening in,

Sarah and Rebecca
