“The mass production of insight, in fiction or elsewhere, is a dubious phenomenon. However, in contemporary society almost anything can be mass produced and marketed, even insight. Especially insight. Because it is a private experience, it can’t be debated or contested. Suddenly, it seems, everyone is having insights. Everyone is proclaiming them and selling them. Possibly we have entered the Age of Insight. Everywhere there is a glut of epiphanies.”
