Is it really surprising though?

Maybe we've been thinking about it wrong.

Now that the race is on, we need to be sure of the course.  If 1st place is
the only place we are doomed and there's not much else to do but enjoy the
last moments of a wild ride.  Otherwise, we may yet find second place is
still quite an adventure.

Oh I know the dystopian horror porn has been discussed ad nauseam.  Could
we be just as imaginative with alternatives?
