There was an interestingly prophetic short story that has left a lasting impression on me and now can’t find. It’s few decades old and describes a highly accelerated future with people going through multiple jobs, partners, and rich and bankrupt cycles each day. Rings any bells?

That’s it!! It’s one of few short stories with a very good ratio of uniqueness, creativity and apparent ridiculousness to actual plausibility when you think about it a bit longer. Has become a favorite reference. Thanks!!
