     If you have ever read "Agenda 21" by Glenn Beck, then this may be a terrifying episode. In this dystopian thriller, the common people work for the betterment of society. It may be better stated that they work for somebody else's benefit. In this dystopian society, they are riding a stationary bike to earn digital money to be spent on digital stuff. Their living quarters are provided but everything is based on commercials designed to make you either spend money to ignore them, buy products, or watch more commercials to make you spend even more money. I couldn't even imagine living in a world like this. It is dehumanizing and demoralizing. It zaps you of everything that makes you an individual, making you nothing more than a cog in a very big machine.


Would you be able to live in a world like this?

What would be the benefits?

Did this episode bother you as much as it did me?

Comments are welcome!
