Machine dystopia. Humans can no longer read or write and no longer have children (all women had been sterilized). People take drugs, smoke marijuana and watch test patterns on television. Many commit suicide. Everything is breaking down, including the robots that run everything. People are supposed to follow three slogans, "When in doubt, forget it" (20), "Don't ask--relax" (21), and "Alone is best" (23).
