4.0

"The avoska, a simple net bag, allowed citizens to be always prepared in case they crossed paths with something extraordinary--like fresh produce. It was also remarkably Soviet in affording the shopper zero privacy: One's loot was on instant and automatic display."

Fall down seven times, get up eight.
