“Would it be fair to see this as an escape plan: a possible solution for
any captive maker? Escapism is often used to describe cowardice. As
discussed earlier, everyday life activities – not those associated with
work but those Bob Black would call playful practices – can become very
lucrative for industries that take them to extreme levels. This market
exists because of the tendency of human beings to distract themselves in
reaction to the heaviness of working life. To some, escapism is
associated with the inability or unwillingness to connect meaningfully
to the world.” (Excerpt from Makers As Escapists)
