520    "Some people call it "abyss gaze." Gaze into the abyss all
       day and the abyss will gaze into you. There are two types 
       of people who think professionally about the future: 
       Foresight strategists are civil futurists who think about 
       geoengineering and smart cities and ways to evade Our 
       Coming Doom; strategic forecasters are spook futurists, 
       who think about geopolitical upheaval and drone warfare 
       and ways to prepare clients for Our Coming Doom. The 
       former are paid by nonprofits and charities, the latter by
       global security groups and corporate think tanks. For both
       types, if you're good at it, and you spend your days and 
       nights doing it, then it's something you can't do for 
       long. Depression sets in. Mental illness festers. And if 
       the abyss gaze takes hold there's only one place to 
       recover: Normal Head, in the wilds of Oregon, within the 
       secure perimeter of an experimental forest..."--|cProvided
