What sort of a life can you lead if you quit your job, sever all social ties, and allow yourself to glide to destruction on your meagre savings and ballooning credit?

The answer turns out to be, a surprisingly pleasant and constructive one.

Anatomy of Norbiton is a complete and systematic description of an attempt to build not just a life beyond failure, but the Ideal City of the Failed Life. In Norbiton.
