Our things define us. What we buy, what we use, what we keep and throw away, what
we waste, and what we save: the stuff that surrounds us and flows through our lives
is a key indicator of the kinds of lives we're living.
To be an affluent twenty-first-century person is to float on a sea of material objects

practical global terms, those histories and futures tend to be the most important
aspects of the stuff we own (from Stuff)
