These people, it's no mystery where they come from! You sharpen the human appetite to the point where it can split atoms with its desire, you build egos the size of cathedrals, fibre-optically connect the world to every eager impulse, grease even the dullest dreams with these dollar-green gold-plated fantasies until every human becomes an aspiring emperor – becomes his own God! And where can you go from there?And as we're scrambling from one deal to the next, who's got his eye on the planet as the air thickens, the water sours, and the bees' honey takes on the metallic taste of radioactivity? And it just keeps coming, faster and faster. There's no chance to think, to prepare – it's buy futures, sell futures, when there is no future! We got a runaway train, boy, we got a billion Eddie Barzoons all joggin' into the future, every one of them getting ready to fist-f*** God’s ex-planet, lick their fingers clean as they reach out to their pristine cybernetic keyboards to tote up their f****n' billable hours.And then it hits home: you gotta pay your own way, Eddie! It's a little late in the game to buy out now! Your belly's too full, your d*** is soft, your eyes are bloodshot and you’re screaming for someone to help! But guess what? There's no-one there! You're all alone, Eddie, you're God's special little creature.Maybe it's true, maybe God threw the dice once too often. Maybe he let us all down."John Milton, The Devil's Advocate.</blockquote>
