How I Gave Up Alternating Current | Mostly Harmless

Public Read
Description

The creator of Soylent is a bit of a twat, film at 11. What interests me here isn't the ultra-ascetic life he's chosen for himself, or his total obliviousness to a: the horror of it, b: the phenomenal privilege that enables him to do it (c: what he sounds like) - it's simply the fact that he's been able to do it at all. This isn't the unevenly distributed future talking, but I suspect it's a marker on the way.
