To seek to be alone is a crime. To want anything for oneself is a crime. \u003cbr\u003eChoice is a crime.\u003cbr\u003eTechnological advancement is now carefully planned, if allowed to occur at all after decades of debate. \u003cbr\u003eThe entire human concept of individuality has been eliminated, a time where only the use of the words ‘we’ or ‘us’ replace ‘I’ and ‘me.’  To dare think let alone utter ideas of individualism is punishable by death.","brand":"Two-Gunner Pulp Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47184143909104,"sku":"2940149365401","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149365401_p0.jpg?v=1763722944","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149365401","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
