I highly recommend this book both as an introduction to the topic of time bias and as a sophisticated and original treatment of the more specific topics that she addresses, a combined feat that is hard to achieve. She manages to be clear and challenging at the same time, making reading this book very enjoyable for anyone with philosophical interests. The reflection on the issues that she prompts does not quickly fade when the reading is past.
