Douglas Coupland Quote
The show’s host assumed I was going to be an ironic slacker wise-ass and said, I guess you must think this whole mall is kind of hokey and trashy, and I said, No such thing.He was surprised. What do you mean?I mean that I feel like I’m in another era that we thought had vanished, but it really hasn’t, not yet. I think we might one day look back on photos of today and think to ourselves, ‘You know, those people were living in golden times and they didn’t even know it. Communism was dead, the economy was good and the future, with all of its accompanying technologies, hadn’t crushed society’s mojo like a bug.’ Silence.It’s true: Technology hadn’t yet hollowed out the middle class and turned us into laptop click junkies, and there were no new bogeymen hiding in the closet. We may well look back at the 1990s as the last good decade
