"Sea of irrelevance". That's what we have now. In his foreword to "Amusing Ourselves to Death", author and cultural critic Neil Postman compared George Orwell's and Aldoux Huxley's visions of the future: "Orwell feared that the truth would be concealed from us. Huxley feared the truth would be drowned in a sea of irrelevance".

It turned out that both Huxley and Orwell were right. The truth is concealed from us and we are under constant surveillance by Big Brother. Simultaneously, most of us are "drowned in a sea of irrelevance". Disconnected from reality, we strive for meaning in the meaningless: Cars, wheels, bags, shoes, gadgets, phones and celebrity culture. But the wheels are about to turn.
