Quote #1
NARRATOR: When deep space exploration ramps up, it'll be the corporations that name everything. The IBM Stellarsphere. Microsoft Galaxy. Planet Starbucks.
Since our world is pretty much discovered and colonized with people on all seven continents, the "natural world" as we know it is starting to extend to space. But our narrator lets us know that unlike the explorers of the past, explorers of the future will be bankrolled pawns of corporations. Corporations are people too, right?
Quote #2
TYLER: I make and sell soap. The yardstick of civilization.
Tyler is unique in that he doesn't buy soap (which would be caving into consumer society) but he makes it, and he uses a primitive technique of rendering fat. Fat he steals from lipo clinics.
Quote #3
TYLER: Why do guys like you and I know what a duvet is? Is this essential to our survival in the hunter-gatherer sense of the word?
Tyler wants to return to the past, one in which men live off the fat of the land (pun intended) instead of doing their hunting at Bed Bath and Beyond…even though it really is the happiest place on earth.
