What's the OK Computer of Literature?

>>8222355

I think you already know, OP

>>8222355
You should very easily be able to answer this question

American Psycho

>>8222355
Please, for the love of God, go back to /mu/.

The novel Infinite Jest by David Foster Wallace

Infinite Jest

Gatsby

Sorry I don't read much, and also I'm specifically talking about fiction, I mean the obvious non-fiction would be The Communist Manifesto tho

>>8222371
>>8222379
>Infinite Jest
I've never read it although obviously its on my list, does it have any anti-capitalism undertones? I don't know much about it but I thought it was just about mental illness and that

surely you,

wait for it

>infinitely jest

>>8222392
Nah IJ is about as anti-capitalist as you can get, in a way that revolves around people's singular emotions and "muh insincerity and disconnection"

>the communist manifesto
R E A L L Y nigga

>>8222392
>Sorry I don't read much
That's pretty obvious. And equating OK Computer--an album I enjoy, just to make it clear--to the Communist Manifesto indicates, to me, that you have not read or did not understand it.

>>8222355
Do you guys really think that capitalism is what creates alienation and isolation? Like that's totally not part of the human condition at all and not a major theme throughout the history of literature, it's our economic structure.
That's why we're lonely.
If only our economy were different we'd all be friends.

Yeah I don't read shit and I haven't read The Communist Manifesto but I know Yorke was obsessed with Noam Chomsky's work, and I don't think it's that mad to jump from Chomsky to Marx

Gravity's Rainbow?

Pretending to be an emotionless sci-fi element seems to be the common theme here.

>>8222355
the fault in our stars

>>8222429

the most rudimentary understanding of history shows this isn't true; you're a retarded faggot

>>8222355
American Psycho basically.

>OK computer

Please good sir, tell me more of this Woster Fallace fellow.

Never change /lit/

Fuck off /mu/

>>8222355
American Psycho and Being and Time

>>8222355
Bartleby the Scrivener might be one of the more obvious examples as well, although it was written before capitalism as we have come to know it today appeared.

It's Mein Kampf, to be honest.

>>8224552
>>8224562
appreciate these thanks

>>8223909

It's the correct answer though. Also you don't provide an answer of your own.

>>8222355
all the books that I have bought and not read/read and not understood/read and been unsatisfied. I need to buy more books

many people forget one thing

we are now used to the fact that good music comes in numerous quantity every year. But back in 1997, there was no good music - OK Computer was the first good album in the history and so the critics went mad.

so it was a pioneer in a way, many tried to play music up to that point, but everyone was shit, and then Radiohead came and shown that music can be at least ok
