speculative fiction that attempts to feel out how something that fits the exact use of the modern internet might work (I remember reading a Stanislaw Lem book that went on & on about the internet but made out of cassette tapes) because they were written half a century ago or books that get starried-eyed about what the internet might turn out to be used for (wHaT iF yOu HaVe To BuY aIr OnLiNe. Id even r what book this was) to be incredibly tedious.
It's gotten to the point that when looking for books to read, if a book is scifi & written before y2k I just straight up skip it. I have no tolerance anymore for people from the 60's speculating on what the internet might be. Anyone else get this?
rrright, I'm not saying they shouldn't do them, I'm saying this specific exact kind of them makes books unreadable for me. Like, as a personal taste thing
