omg, pretentious much? I will finish, but seriously, dude - pining over media habits of yore and damning those in the future just makes the fear of aging plot-line in the book seem more salient and pathetic. Sure the dystopia you paint could come true. But a new era could also come from it. I hope this book redeems itself in the end, but I am not holding my breath. So far it's just a more creative way of whining about your fear of progress.

Finished and still agree, but the plot and message stick with you.
