“What is it about society that disappoints you so much?”
“Oh I don’t know. Is it that we collectively thought Steve jobs was a
great man, even when we knew he made billions off the backs of children?
Or maybe it’s that it feels like all our heroes are counterfeit. The world itself’s just one big hoax. Spamming each other with our
burning commentary of bullshit, masquerading as insight, our social
media faking as intimacy. Or is it that we voted for this? Not with our
rigged elections, but with our things, our property, our money. I’m not saying anything new, we all know why we do this. It’s not because
the Hunger Games makes us happy, but because we want to be sedated,
because it’s painful not to pretend. Because we’re cowards. Fuck
society.”– Mr. Robot by Sam Esmail
