My awesome British professor has thoroughly convinced me to ride a bicycle everywhere. And maybe even stop eating meat. Of course, that'll only happen once I can afford such a lifestyle. His soap-boxing came out of a lecture about Burgess's A Clockwork Orange (adapted for the screen by Stanley Kubrick, that genius) and Ballard's Crash.  Long story short, sci-fi dystopia or not, people don't care enough about each other.  Forever and ever amen.

P.S. I now want to master the use of nadsat.
