You say you want a revolution

From American Studies by Mark Merlis:

After the end of history, the workers would go to concert halls and listen to American tone poems with titles like The Corn-Husking. They would go home to nutritious meals – things made in a pressure cooker, to preserve the natural colors and save the vitamins. After dinner they would retire to living rooms furnished in blond wood, like Tom’s last ghastly apartment. There they might read a newspaper devoid of rape or gossip or publicity stunts. Or they might, if it was summer and still light, go out to the common space and play with the children – play some nonviolent, cooperative game like volleyball. At last they would go to bed and have intercourse with their odorless wives. Healthy and simple intercourse: as their lives were without frustrations, there would be nothing to be worked out, worked off, in bed. Nor in their dreams; what dreams would they need?
