On Gary Wolf's 'Workshop of the Second Self'
Topics: Political News and commentaries
Looking for a book relevant to our world in the age of Obama, political correctness, multiculturalism, victimology, and moral relativism? Look no further.
Gary Wolf describes his book titled "Workshop of the Second Self" as "A chilling vision of Western civilization in the year 2030, when political correctness, multiculturalism, and the victim industry reach their catastrophic climax. Oleg Atbashian at The People's Cube describes it as "Smart, profound, engaging ... it's Atlas Shrugged meets 1984":
The setting is the year 2030 in America where the tendencies of political correctness, multiculturalism, victimology, and moral relativism have reached its logical conclusion. Every person is judged not on his individual merits, but according to his disability profile, which factors in race, gender, wealth, education, exposure to European culture, etc. The most powerful government agency is Department of Disabilities that assigns disability points. This leads to some ugly events and the breakup of society, when the most productive and qualified people become the real victims of the Disability Regime. In addition, terrorists - whom no one dares call terrorists - are suing their victims for the right to seize their identities along with their assets and professional careers.As Adbashian writes in his review, 'Workshop of the Second Self' was written in 2006 but it's even more relevant today and its relevancy is likely to continue to grow with the advancement of Obama's policies. In this sense, Gary's story is more than just an educated guess - it's more like an educated prophecy.
