*Gothic, Gothic, Gothic High Tech. In FAST COMPANY, no less.

*Squelettes galore. Look at that top-end debtor's car covered with dust. Those who live by burning fossils will perish of their necromancy.... In the Victorian era, when the term was invented, guys and gals "in fast company" were semi-criminal swells and demimondaines, likely to perish of syphilis. Not that anybody *said* they had syphilis, in so many words; they just vanished and left a Gothic hole.

*Dubai and Detroit... they'll be back, but with different flesh on their bones.
