Timer (2009). Fantastical rom com where an implant lets the user know how long until they meet The One. A very well observed, and very Californian, comedy of manners with Caulfield excellent as a hopeless romantic who is hopelessly modern and wants the impossibility of love with contract riders.
The point is that we built an economy of hammers because we're only measuring how many nails are sticking up. And showing people charts of successful nail hammering doesn't matter if those well-hammered nails are in a piece of lumber that no one is using.
Anyone who has lived through sustained periods of being poor knows that boot theory explains one of the most insidious poverty traps. Likewise, anyone who spends all day on social media loudly dismissing boot theory is really only showing the bias of having lived a very comfortable life.
