Killing Time is a dystopian novel by Caleb Carr set in the Mid-21st Century. It was initially serialized in TIME and later published in 2000 by Random House. It includes criticisms of the information age (see quotes below). The book was a departure for Carr, whose previous two novels (and his subsequent one) were crime thrillers set in the Victorian era.

And stab my spirit broad awake;

Choose thou, before that spirit die,
A piercing pain, a killing sin,
And to my dead heart run them in!”
