Sinossi

The Consciousness of Time. Brief Notes on Ideas and Actions for the Future goes over a series of ideas, questions and events that have powered our perception of time. In many ways, time is something we overlook and this essay by Julio Millán Bojalil highlights the importance of thinking about it in a comprehensive and beneficial, playful and courageous way. It also shares the possible paths with which the race against time could be won, starting with the fact that time is just within us.

This essay, divided into seven chapters, covers everything from essential concepts such as time and future, past and present, to the importance and symbolism of the clock, or even notions such as utopia and progress. It also includes a broad description of foresight, its value and use, with historical and modern examples; an approach to the unforeseen (wild cards), and a collection of attitudes and visions about time based on technological progress and its interconnection with humanism.

The fact of being aware of time is related to the very history of humanity. The future cannot be guessed or predicted: it is imagined and sown. The ideas here prepare us for a future that can happen from now on, even in a world of great changes. We can rethink and reformulate that future from multiple experiences, motivating us to believe that the future (your future) is now more than ever within reach.
