#23Self-referential, technology-focused and shaped texts like this make me wonder what the new, dominant school of thought will be for this generation's western literature.
Post-modernism [1] has been considered "dead" for about 10-15 years with no discernible movement coalescing to replace it. SV, entrepreneurship, and startup culture have had such a profound effect on the west that it would be hard for authors today to ignore the tropes and heroes of this movement, which is what these anonymous authors have addressed head on.
Will kids in high school 30 years from now still be reading Salinger, Vonnegut, McCarthy, Orwell, Heller, Faulkner, Steinbeck and other classics? Or will there be some literary movement borne out of SV culture to supplement these classic texts?

#24This is off topic, but why is WaPost only giving me 30% of my screen in which to view the article: http://i.imgur.com/QwnLoIh.png I sometimes wish these news publications would just use Medium or similar blogging platforms.
The rest of the page is ads. I presume you have adblocker turned on.
And publishers are surprised we use ad blockers...

I think transmodernism is pretty clearly on track to win right now. Just look at the rapid increase in states legalizing marijuana for medical and recreational purposes.

#27From the headline, I thought this was going to be a piece about who runs @StartupLJackson
I'm pretty sure there are a wide number of people who know who SLJ is.
