I enjoyed the take of the wonderful children's book "Momo", by Michael Ende, that is based around this topic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momo_(novel) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momo_(novel) SPOILERS, kinda: It talks about time thieves, that convince people to save time by offering devices that do things more efficiently. All this does is making society more sterile as people forgo time-wasting activities (such as socializing, art and recreation) to save more time, which is then stolen by these time-thieves. I often think about this book, which feels very prescient, especially being written in 1973! I haven't ready it in a while but remember it being a beautiful and engaging read for any age.
