A Do-It-Yourself Dystopia

Exploring the devaluation of freedom in a culture overwhelmed by trivial choices, Steven Carter's collection of essays delves into the concept of hidden oligarchies within American society. By drawing parallels to Orwell's depiction of life in '1984', he examines how the abundance of seemingly insignificant options can strip away true freedom. Through insightful analysis, Carter invites readers to reflect on the implications of choice in contemporary life and the subtle forces that shape our autonomy.
