Abyss Quotes

“He did everything right - he got good grades in school, he made friends at uni, he followed the path, and somehow, in tiny little fragments and moments that he can't parse, it all fell apart.

He can't understand where it all went so wrong.
Because even if he escapes this damn building, this prison Hilda has found herself in: stuck alone in a room, eating takeaway food, and plugging away at a computer for the rest of her life, forgetting everything and everyone that came before - it's the same one he's already in.

“And yet, rather than making life easier, for most on the planet, life is measurably more difficult. In the global north, labour productivity has been flatlining since the seventies. Most households now have two people working full time just to get by. Indeed, they need to, in a way they never did fifty years ago. Many people are forced to work multiple jobs, longer hours, even with technology meaning they can do more with this time. Productivity should have shot through the roof, and yet, somehow, everyone is working harder and harder and harder. The result is an equation with a massive missing number. Where is it all going? If it isn't being invested back in people, where is all this productivity going?”
