People had been working for so many years to make the world
a safe, organized place.  Nobody realized how boring it
would become.  With the whole world property-lined and
speed-limited and zoned and taxed and regulated, with
everyone tested and registered and addressed and recorded.  
Nobodody had left much room for adventure, except maybe the
kind you could buy.  On a roller coaster.  At a movie.  

-- Chuck Palahniuk
