we’re all born wanting the freedom to imagine a better and more beautiful future. but modern america has become a place so drearily confining and predictable that it chokes the life out of that built-in desire. everything from our pop culture to our economy to our politics feels oppressive and unresponsive. we see 10 million commercials a day, and every day is the same life-killing chase for money, money and more money; the only thing that changes from minute to minute is that every tick of the clock brings with it another space-age vendor dreaming up some new way to try to sell you something or reach into your pocket.
