...Kaczynski were younger, hipper and had a brilliantly witty sense of humor. Imagine that instead of writing a lengthy manifesto on the ills of modern society, he chose instead to compress his belief system into simple, easy-to-swallow sound bites for mass consumption: "The future is fake" "Everybody's lying." "Stop breathing." "Progress is over." Rather than spreading his doctrine with letter bombs and threats of destruction, he might instead have devised a quirky, culture-savvy, pink-jacketed novel about the end of the world.

Near thebathroom, almost out of view, an engraved mirrorquietly requests "no gambling, no cussing, nospitting," while fake plants swing in ceilingbaskets along the windows. Every inch of wallspace is covered by something which was almostcertainly obtained for free, including thethoroughly-crooked set of house cues.
