Publisher Description

From the award-winning author Greg Egan comes a Tor.com Original sci-fi short story, "Zeitgeber"

For millions of years, life on Earth has taken its cues from the rising and setting of the sun, and for most of human history we've followed the same rhythm. But if that shared connection was broken, and we each fell under the sway of our own private clock, could we still hold our lives together? One family is about to find out.
