Under modernity, time is regarded as linear and measurable by clocks and calendars. Despite the historicity of clock-time itself, the modern concept of time is considered universal and culturally neutral. What Walter Benjamin called "homogeneous, empty time" founds the modern notions of progress and a uniform global present in which the past and other forms of time consciousness are seen as superseded.

shows up in the background of an old B-movie, and Ethan is drawn into
Hollywood's secret occult underbelly as he hunts for her among the wreckage of
the wild days of the '70s.
"No one does crime
fic like Brubaker and Phillips, and their collaboration has never felt more new.
