ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

How To Stop Time by Matt Haig introduces Tom Hazard, a man who appears to be in his early forties but has actually lived for centuries due to a rare condition that drastically slows his aging. The narrative follows Tom as he navigates the complexities of a constantly changing world, adhering to the strict rules of a secret society, the Albatross Society, which protects individuals like him. A primary rule is to avoid deep emotional attachments to the "mayflies," or mortal humans, to prevent the inevitable pain of loss. The story delves into the challenges of maintaining a secret existence, the weight of historical memory, and the protagonist's internal conflict as he grapples with loneliness and the longing for connection in a world that is forever new to him but wearily familiar to him.
