We imagine all these postapocalyptic, class-stratified, new-world-order techno-futures. But actually the real world, the world we live in, this is the dystopia.

About This Quote

In his book, The Shock of the Old , John Kaag says that we live in a world filled with endless digital distractions. He says the best way to combat this is to get back to a simpler time when people were closer together, when people had more time to spend together, and when technology wasn’t trying to make us all slaves to our gadgets. The real dystopia could be right here in front of us if we don’t change how we treat each other and ourselves.
