In this book in praise of wait times, award-winning author Jason Farman passionately argues the delay between call and answer has always been an important part of the message.<\/p>\n<p>Traveling backward from our current era of Twitter and texts, Farman shows how societies have worked to eliminate waiting in communication and interpreted those times\u2019 meanings. Exploring seven eras and objects of waiting\u2014including pneumatic mail tubes in New York, Elizabethan wax seals, and Aboriginal Australian message sticks\u2014Farman offers a new mindset for waiting today. In a rebuttal of the desire for instant communication, Farman makes a powerful case for why good things can come to those who wait.<\/p>\n<p><em>Delayed Response<\/em> will be published by Yale University Press in 2018.
