Suggest mentioning in tz-art.html:
Cory Doctorow's 2004 novel "Eastern Standard Tribe"
Quotes from blurbs:
"He may live in London and work for an EU telecommunications megacorp, but Art's
real home is the Eastern Standard Tribe.
...
The world is slowly splintering into Tribes held together by a common time zone,
less than family and more than nations."
"The book concerns itself with the conspiracies of management consultants around
the world who form secret allegiences on the basis of the timezones that they
choose to sleep in - everyone who keeps New York time all over the world ends up
all pallsy-wallsy and savages those degenerates on Pacific time."
