Thomas M. Disch

… there, strung out under the cornice of the building, was the motto, which he had never noticed before, of the Federal Communications Agency:

PLANNED FREEDOM IS
THE ROAD TO LASTING PROGRESS.

So simple, so direct, and yet, when you thought about it, almost impossible to understand.

Thomas M. Disch, “The Man Who Had No Idea,” The Magazine of Fantasy and Science Fiction (October 1978).
