Tommy, Rafeal, Edward and Grant---servers at Stoner Pizza---are
economically, psychologically, and socially trapped in a life maze
they didn't create nor understand. They're second generation high
school and college dropouts immersed in an unrelenting
algorithm-driven computer-technology in a society cascading in a
downward spiral of dumbing down and continued compromise. Pizza
Stoners like Tommy, Rafael, Edward and Grant live at home with
their parents, never leave their room except for the most minimal
of part-time jobs---antisocials lost in a blizzard of computers,
TV, Internet technology, entertainment and porn all mixed together.
The Pizza Stoner, like his Japanese cousin, the Hikikomori, is the
product of decades of economic recession, stagnation and despair---
the wasted generation of Japan--- not educated, unemployed, not
trained or trainable in a society going nowhere. The symbol of this
class is a Harvard PhD who waits on tables at a fast food
restaurant with dim prospects for the foreseeable future. Relevant
to American society today, Stoner Pizza is a tragic, reflective,
satirical and thoughtful look at lost dreams and opportunities and
settling for less in the affluent country of America today.
