Much of the book deals with a surprising phenomenon in contemporary life: a determined retreat from conventional social hierarchies that Tom Wolfe calls 'starting your own league.' Surfers, motorcyclists, lumpen-dandies and... Stay-at-homes (see 'The King of the Status Drop-Outs')—everybody's doing it. Except for die-hards in the crumbling old social worlds of New York and London, where the confusion is so great (see 'Bob and Spike' and 'The Mid-Atlantic Man') that nobody can tell whether this is really the path to the top they've taken or just the service elevator.
