That's wonderful, thanks for sharing: Adams is extremely cunning in his satirical look at the humanity.
Not that I agree: "pie charts" for tracking time (and otherwise) are useful when you need to roughly and quickly compare how much time is left in a day.
But we have since moved to it being important if something happens in 14:37 or 14:42, which is hard and slow to decipher on a pie chart.
Now, one could argue we are primitive if we have moved in that direction instead of being more lax with time instead.
