05_ Cosmopolis

    "A rat became the unit of currency."

    Story is about a promising young billionaire, Eric, quickly collapsed in a day, and it also symbolizes the collapse of the entire society.  Eric do everything inside of a white limousine, talk shop, have sex, health checkup and more. The white limousine symbolize status of Eric, also a shell to shut people and the society out. The limousine collapse overnight after Eric from rich become rags. His career has been significant downs from heaven to hell. Instead of saying that the reality tear him down, I would say that the personality of Eric can not afford an unexpectedly fail. Eventually he gives up himself and let himself destruction. Everything in this world are so unpredictable, maybe just need a single moment, all the collapse comes fast and fierce.
    In the end of the story before killer shoot, the killer mention that he was waiting for main character's rescue. If those upper class people in this society are able to care more about mid-class even the working-class people rather than exploit them arbitrarily, perhaps those turbulent protests will not happened.
