Origin of the phrase
[edit]Hi there. The title pre-dates Postman’s work. It appears as a lyric in the Bruce Cockburn song “You Pay Your Money and You Take Your Chance” circa 1981 as “… In the maze of moebius streets we're trying to amuse ourselves to death Under the deep sky…” Just sayin’.

Translations
[edit]Does the intro really need to list every language the book's been translated into? Have not seen that exhaustive listing on any other book. Pkoroly (talk) 16:04, 22 October 2025 (UTC)
