An excellently written, absorbing piece of work. Really brings to bear all that modern living has to offer. I can't say for sure how accurate the account of the turn of the century man is, but his estimation of how we live is surprising. It's also very easy to hate Simon, and I wish he was a little closer to how I act. I was going to say I wish he was closer to average, but I have no idea what average is.
