“The joy I feel knows no bounds,” Nurse Ratched said. “Huzzah.” Her screen changed to confetti falling around the words CONGRATULATIONS IT’S A GIRL.
“The main institutions in an established democracy no longer seem to work for the people. The man in the street is thinking: nothing is ever going to change, and if that's the case, you disinvest in the society around you and look elsewhere for purpose. Once you get that level of distrust, it's pretty clear where people will turn to get some kind of solace...the internet.”

Reflecting upon Becky's enclosing and tying-up of her toys, it is clear that she needed the freedom to safely express herself without judgment and for an adult to interact and not interfere.

“The numbing effects of scrolling down an endless newsfeed are both the problem and its own relief. Over time, this works to delirious effect. Periodically, after long projects or particularly lengthy binges, I feel saturated and dissociate. No longer able to process information, I let my unread messages pile up in my inbox and notifications from friends accumulate whilst I lie for hours on my sofa during the weekends, unable to do anything, but unable to do nothing either.”
