"Man will continue to invent technologies outside of himself until he either destroys the world or realizes that everything he's created is an inferior copy of the technologies that exist within himself. The question is: which will come first?" - Rudolf Steiner
Twenty years ago, this book came out, and it exposed suburban upper-middle class high school students as being a bunch of soulless, grade-obsessed, teacher-pleasing freaks. Then, mass culture started to become awful as that generation assumed power. What has changed since then?

Very gay, yes. I think the hipsters perfected black coffee during the 2010s. They simply got quasi-slaves in various African and South American plantations to harvest it with excellent terroir, then roasted it very light, giving the beans an acidic, fruity character. Delicious!
