Seems like the "bleak" future described was also a fairly accurate description of the music industry prior to 1950. No real pop-superstars or bazillion-dollar promotional campaigns.
I'm currently patenting a method of shopping whereby all purchases made on the site are emailed to a migrant worker named Juan, who fills out the order forms by hand (using a soon-to-be-patented writing instrument of my own design,actually)
and then carries said order forms using my pateneted version of lamentably public-domain "Bipedal Locomotion" to the warehouse.
