Adomania

n.
the sense that the future is arriving ahead of schedule, that all those years with fanciful names are bursting from their hypothetical cages into the arena of the present, furiously bucking your grip while you slip around in your saddle, with one hand reaching for the reins, the other waving up high like a schoolkid who finally knows the answer to the question.

Italian a domani, until tomorrow + mania. Pronounced “ad-uh-mey-nee-uh.”
