It seemed to me that there was nothing new to be discovered ever again. Our society was utterly, ruinously derivative {although the word derivative as a criticism is itself derivative}. We were the first human beings who would never see anything for the first time. We stare at the wonders of the world, dull-eyed, underwhelmed. Mona Lisa, the Pyramids, the Empire State Building. Jungle animals on attack, ancient icebergs collapsing, volcanoes erupting. I can't recall a single amazing thing I have seen firsthand that I didn't immediately reference to a movie or TV show.
