How can one novel so accurately predict 4chan culture? Ignatius is a mix of /lit/ pretentiousness, /r9k/ virgins, /tv/ low-brow culture banter and /pol/ critique of degeneracy, basically. He even predicted the "start with the Greeks" meme.
"Begin with the late Romans, including Boethius, of course. Then you should dip rather extensively into early Medieval. You may skip the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. That is mostly dangerous propaganda. Now that I think of it, you had better skip the Romantics and the Victorians, too. For the contemporary period, you should study some selected comic books."
"I recommend Batman especially, for he tends to transcend the abysmal society in which he's found himself. His morality is rather rigid, also. I rather respect Batman.”
“A firm rule must be imposed upon our nation before it destroys itself. The United States needs some theology and geometry, some taste and decency. I suspect that we are teetering on the edge of the abyss.”

Replace his obsession of Boethius with Nick Land and you got /lit/
It's almost like people similar to e/lit/ists existed before /lit/ was around.
Christ, this is on par with people who say XYZ 80s writer "predicted" social justice warriors.
