This is a very depressing note on how capitalism also enslaves us into mere consumers to fill our day with shallow meansings, alongside with how modernity has failed us, as famously inspiring the works of The 1975.

Is this a tough read? For me not, mostly because i think about these things in the same dimension as the writer did, and he surely carried it with a great deal lot of depth than me, which is precise and thought-provoking enough to say that this is the new bible.

The mere problem would be that it acts as more of a criticism work instead of providing some feasible actions to remedy the grave reality of modern world, which only intensifies as time moves on to the 21st century. Despite this, i just think that it is justified for how good it is.
