Chapter 
1
In the millennium an educational genius will write a book to be given to everyyoung man on the date of his disillusion. This work will have the flavor of Montaigne's essays and Samuel Butler's note-books—and a little of Tolstoi andMarcus Aurelius. It will be neither cheerful nor pleasant but will contain numer-ous passages of striking humor. Since first-class minds never believe anythingvery strongly until they've experienced it, its value will be purely relative . . . allpeople over thirty will refer to it as "depressing."This prelude belongs to the story of a young man who lived, as you and I do, be-fore the book.
