Publisher's Synopsis
This book is an earnest attempt to say something about the modern dilemma. The author's alternatively hilarious and poignant text is an attempt to open the door to answering these questions. Nowhere is it overtly preachy because it opens up new intellectual possibilities for the reader to ponder and complete on their own rather than providing the reader with a top-down instruction manual as to how to live their life. And while our commodity-obsessed culture tends to naturalize its flaws, he points out that there are indeed still possibilities out there beyond a world where buying stuff seems to be the only worthwhile human endeavor.
This work attempts to persuade the reader to consider the meaning of the reality he or she is tasked with viewing daily. Is it a solipsistic nightmare or total bliss, neither or both? Will, it ever ends, and how?
