Time Frenzy examines the social and ethical ramifications of our increasingly fast-paced lives. 

One of the ironies of the new technology in place in virtually all industrialized nations is that it was supposed to save us time and improve the quality of life, yet it is actually creating more frenzied and draining lifestyles. To many workers, regardless of their occupation, the 40 hour work week has become a fantasy. Add to this the reality of long commutes and family responsibilities, and it is obvious that there is a workforce teetering on the edge of the abyss. 

Time Frenzy discusses this "24-7" existence and then goes on to compare the American work ethic with those in other countries (including France, Italy & Morocco), in the process examining the impact of technology on personal relationships, education, health and the environment.
