In William S. Burroughs' book "With William Burroughs: A Report From The Bunker," he addresses the evolving concept of money in society. He suggests that we'll soon reach a point where the significance of money diminishes significantly. The traditional question of cost becomes irrelevant as people increasingly recognize that money lacks intrinsic value and is merely a social construct reliant on collective acceptance.

Burroughs observes that we are witnessing emerging scenarios where transactions occur without monetary exchange, indicating a shift in societal dynamics. As this evolution continues, he implies that our understanding of reality will transform, challenging the conventional reliance on money as a measure of value or a determinant of reality.
