Clock of the Long Now

10,000 Year Clock of the Long Now

The best way to introduce the clock of the Long Now? Here’s a quote from the book:

Whether or not a grand version of the Clock eventually happens, the world continues to happen, and it happens to be in a new scale of trouble these days. Nobody can save the world, but any of us can help set in motion a self-saving world – if we are willing to engage the process of centuries, because that is where the real power is.
