an image of an entire class living in an artificial ideological fantasy world that doesn't exist, whilst being convinced by the oligarchic class that the system is what they want, that slavery is freedom. While their minds are in a beautiful virtual reality where they're going to one day be rich, their body is deteriorating in the reality of the wasteland around them. They're in a matrix, their minds elsewhere, whilst their body is on a treadmill that yields profits that the oligarchic controllers collect right underneath their noses.
