I own nothing, have no privacy, and life has never been better",[2] later retitled "Here's how life could change in my city by the year 2030". It described life in an unnamed city in which the narrator does not own a car, a house, any appliances, and any clothes, and instead relied on shared services for all of their daily needs.
