What went wrong? The Middle East is a shithole right now, but so is Africa and that didn't stop Africa from producing great literature.

It's because they didn't concern themselves with petty things such as poetry or literature. They were the STEM overlords of their times and focused on ACTUAL sciences. Without the Islamic Golden Age, we would not have computers, would not know astronomy or would not understand any basic concepts of economic trade.
Fuck off with your novels, real science is where it's at.

They were and still are obsessed with poetry. While modern western nations have talent shows on television, modern Islamic nations instead have poetry competitions on television.
