"One Soviet writer called it hypernormalisation. "You have become trapped in an echo chamber, where all you see and hear is you. You go into an office sit at a desk, but maybe it is a fake job, your real job is shopping. The true factories of our time are the shopping malls. That is where the real hard work is done." |
