"In the moment they slip through our fingers, we realize that these were the beautiful moments." Under this motto, Jim has not presented a comic novel this time, but a collection of a dozen short reflections on what actually characterizes such a "beautiful moment." The answers could hardly be more varied. There is the thrill of adventure, wistful memories, missed opportunities, wise restraint, or even situations that go horribly wrong despite the best intentions. They all share the phenomenon that has always preoccupied humanity: the transience of the moment, for - as Nietzsche said - "all pleasure wants eternity." That is why modern man invented the smartphone and selfie - and now faces a completely new problem: What to do with all those seemingly beautiful moments when the phone indicates it has run out of storage.
