Thirteen years and counting... Time marches on...
Time and its Discontents was the first text ever uploaded to The Anarchist Library, sourced from the now defunct primitivism.com.
What do you think of this piece and its place as the first in the collection? Has it stood the test of time?
If the library was starting anew today, what would be your first upload?

And the band is going home, it's raining hammers, it's raining nails
And it's true there's nothing left for him down here
And it's time time time, and it's time time time
And it's time time time that you love
And it's time time time
(Tom Waits - Time)
Was this really the first text uploaded to the library?
first text on the library?

A small note about this comment, which I have also seen repeated numerous times over social media (Twitter). Originally the library went online with something like 50-100 texts using the content management system (CMS) called Drupal and then eventually the library jumped over to the homebrewed Amusewiki. I don't recall the first text uploaded and published on the long forgotten Drupal website, but imagine it was something from The Spunk Library. Technically, the first text uploaded to the library remains unknown, but the first text published under the new CMS was, as Anonymous writes above, a text by John Zerzan.
On the text: It has been a number of years since I've read it, so will have to reread before commenting more - but, I have always thought that these John Zerzan texts about time were some of his best and most interesting writing.
