has anything changed since DeLillo wrote Mao II?

hasn't happened yet. everyone is still writing about the 20th century unconsciously. We need to wait until people born in 2000 onwards come of age and write.

Was expecting Art of the Deal desu.

Actually, Eliot does capture a certain type of person's world view, so it's partly relevant even if meant as a shitpost.

The excessive obsession with "le zeitgeist" has no place in art. Art isn't pop culture, it's supposed to reach truths that are higher than the immediate present.

This thread is bad and you should feel bad

and thus he has done his job well...

There is not such a thing as Zeitgeist. That's just a fancy word first worldlers use to refer to their specific culture and implicitly universalize it as "the" (human, world) culture.

Tbh Nick Land is the only correct answer here.

Society of the Spectacle and the Perfect Crime are still the essential texts for understanding western culture.
