These individuals exhibit the effects of an imbalance between future-focused dopamine and present-focused H&N neurotransmitters. They flee the emotional and sensory experiences of the present. For them, life is about the future, about improvement, about innovation. Despite the money and even fame that comes from their efforts, they are usually unhappy. No matter how much they do, it’s never enough. The family crest of James Bond, the resourceful, relentless, often ruthless secret agent, contains the motto Orbit Non Sufficit: The World Is Not Enough. Colonel Aldrin faced this problem in a more profound way than perhaps any human being ever had: I have walked on the surface of the moon. What could I possibly do to top that?
“Nothing existential gave me any great pleasure. And progressively, as my ideas developed, I had more and more a sense of loneliness. I felt a driving ambition, and in that sense it was pleasant, but I was enormously unhappy with my position at home; I did not like being a child, I did not like being attached to a family. I resented enormously the implication that anything to do with the family was binding on me—or anything to do with anybody—I had no obligation to unchosen values. Boredom was a cardinal emotion in rela- tion to the events available to me. I didn’t care about any of the immediate reality, there was nothing in it for me. My world was the future. Today, I would know that the difference between me and others was my romantic sense of life, my more heroic sense of life. My whole development was desiring and looking for things which are interesting, versus the boredom of the routine or the conventional, looking for the unusual or purposeful. The heroic concept of man: that’s what interested me.”

War is peace! Freedom is slavery! Ignorance is strength! Those words have kept sounding in my head since I read this book. My god,it is probably one of the the most haunting not to mention frightening and thrilling book I've ever read. I think 1984 should also be included in the horror and thriller genres. I have recently read Utopia, 1984
