My colleagues in the proverb

 My colleagues in the literary department say it's all very escapist stuff. I think, 'No, no, no.' It's actually all about what happened in the 20th century. The 20th century has basically been industrialized warfare,

 We're moving into the 20th century. I know it's the 21st century already, but at least we'll finally be in the 20th century.

 In the past, people overworked, but commonly because they were forced by poverty or impelled by a sense of duty. Now work can be a neurotic addiction. 'Workaholic' is a 20th-century word, one suspects, because it is a 20th-century type.
