industrial living as a frozen dream, and our awakening

And what do you mean by that? asks Numeroso, the
voice of everyone. Do you mean to say that
economic realism is a delusion, that the whole

Well, she is saying,
there's watching tv for a start. What could be more
dreamlike?
And theres doing repetitive work in a factory,
theres sitting in a classroom,
or commuting to work in train or in a traffic jam,
and theres what we do in the office,
which you can think of as writing the story of
this enormous dream that were living,
making its laws and regulations,
working out its costs,
designing it, and persuading everyone to buy it

and on and on she went .
