Inauthenticity

"New York is the home of con artists. It's also the home of the self-invented, the fulfillers of the American dream. But, in New York, cons and success stories are impossible to tell apart, depending on how you look at  them, or when. Everyone is working it, fronting, faking it, so much so that there's an assumption of in-authenticity about everyone."
