Rip van Winkle?

This polish geriatric woke up from a 19-year coma to discover his grim 'worker's paradise' transformed into a flourishing democracy with all its perks -- like having something to buy, and the money to buy it with.

I've always had a suspicion that purely scientific accounts fall somewhat short in giving satisfactory explanations for our existence: consider his wife who nurtured him all those years. I've barely lived that long, for crying out loud!

Anyone who claims that such devotion and loving care is purely the result of biochemical, synaptic sparks can climb back under the cold, clammy rock they got out under. There's enchantment to life -- one just needs to look hard enough.
