2037 AD. 98% of humans on the planet are employed as life coaches. All the life coaches have life coaches. Each must search hard for new clients. “Fuck off out my kitchen!” say The People. “I’ve already had six of you in here today, trying to unlock my true potential. I just want to clean the oven."
