The book draws up the outlines of a problem similar to our own, but reversed. The higher class you are in society the less you have to consume, the highest class being those with below normal consumption and the lowest classes being barely able to keep up with consuming furniture, clothes, food, etc. It also involves the kind of problems that might appear from robots being a big part of human culture.
