We're living in a Romantic period of literature. What is the most common type of novel sold and made in the USA? Romance novels, mostly for women. Readers today mostly enjoy reading self insert fantasy fiction. People want to be rescued from the awfulness of reality and turn to escapism.

The most awful examples of film, music, and literature are fantasies where people can burrow into and hide from reality. Many people killed themselves after watching the film Avatar because it seemed so much nicer to their own lives. There is also a global epidemic of opiods sweeping the Western and Eastern world, the drug of choice for people who want to leave reality. In the USA the highest concentrations of opiod users are in MidWest regions with that have been hit hardest by the economic decisions of the late 20th century.

And what is the latest Coastal trend in media? Virtual Reality and being a wageslave.
