The essence of life in an oligarchy like George Orwell presents in ’1984’ is that freedom of choice is virtually non-existent. But what happens when so many trivial and meaningless choices inundate a culture such as our own and freedom itself becomes devalued? In ’A Do-It-Yourself Dystopia’, through a variety of essays, Steven Carter addresses this and other issues in a wide-ranging search for hidden oligarchies of the American self.
