the making of shoes , aircars , smartwalls , sex-toys , furniture , head implants , soccer balls , dishes , cleaning nanos , edible starches with their sprawlingly variable cargos of flavor ... and worst of all , the endless parade of demands for decoration : knick-knacks and geegaws and dolls and icons and the tedious algorithms for woodgrain and stucco and persian flaws ; reproductions pirated from the historical and cultural baggage of a hundred worlds , useless garbage necessary to fill corners and nooks and walls , to personalize armies of prefab houses , and all following the dreary cyclical logic of fads and fancies and the great god of trend .
