This is not a hypothetical future but a present reality, unfolding in our everyday lives.

"I Will Teach You to Be Rich", by Ramit Sethi, Review
The complete title is: “I Will Teach You to Be Rich: No Guilt. No Excuses. No B.S. Just a 6-Week Program That Works” And Ramit Sethi's “I Will Teach You to Be Rich” really stands in sharp contrast to the usual half-voiced, traditional financial advice.

Terry Southern’s “Now Dig This: The Unspeakable Writings of Terry Southern (1950 – 1995)”
Another book review… Yeah, I know. You would prefer it if I wrote one of my smart-ass poems, or finally finished that multi-chapter piece that could possibly be a very interesting book or made-for-public-domain movie. You may even like my stories and other essays. But here’s the thing: I am on the last day of my volunteer service with a film festival, the heat warning we have received is still on (that threat of thunder, lightning and much-needed rain seems like a cruel joke), and I have very little time to tell you all about the reading companion I have taken with me as I worked too often for free in the steam and humidity of my adopted city.
