“Man, I spend too much time on my phone, maybe I’ll check out a contemporary novel” *opens book* “He scrolled on his phone through the night and into the morning, bored, disgusted, aroused, and went to work texting in traffic, and why do they call it a phone, really”
You know that culture is dead because no one successfully reckons with phones in film and literature. It’s like having westerns without the railroad. Phones and phone culture should be what 90% of movies and books are about.

Individualism and youth worship culminate in hatred of the young; when a generation or two ages out, they loathe those behind them, and rather than wanting better for descendants, they enjoy seeing them as suffer, out of envy for those who still have the most prized quality

They have this bizarre pride in cutting costs and pretending they have depression era frugal instincts, yet mostly for the sake of amassing more stupid junk and being able to retire, go on cruises, vacation at time share resorts, etc

You can write a whole novel without ever describing someone going into or out of a room
everyone who enjoys reading novels should try to write a scene. even a paragraph of a scene. try to get someone in and out of a room. will change how you read forever
