Would a reputable author risk taking shits on integral parts of modern life?

Think about it, whatever truth he'll write would be viewed as detrimental by corporations.

Writers disguise this by hammering in a false but plausible plot (Hunger Games, Ender's Game, etc) which appeal to people because on some level the novels hold truth.

Off topic, watch Black Mirror, it hits the nail on the head in some aspects.

I was thinking about this earlier when I read "Looming brazen above Demacia's walls, the colossus stands with silent lips."

>it's the most pretentious book I've ever read in my entire life. both characters are insufferable, arrogant know-it-alls who constantly shit on everyone around them like they're supreme beings who can do no wrong. they're not likable in any way, and are more muppets/caricatures than actual characters.
