Hey /lit/, just received one of my assignments which asks me to compare one pre-2000 text and one post-2000 text. I dunno shit about anything post-2000 so I was wondering what you'd recommend.
"Text" as in any literary work written after Y2K?
Andy Weir's The Martian is a good post-2000 novel that comes to mind, drawing a blank otherwise (at the shitter at work rn)

Well they have to be of the same type I guess. So if it's a poetry collection from pre-2000 I would also have to choose a poetry text from post-2000

stuff you can compare, gotcha
what pre-2k text did you have in mind?

I'm a big fan of politics and for text type I'm probably just going fiction. Something I could compare to 1984, Animal Farm or Brave New World would be good.
i'd recommend 1q84 by haruki muramaki, or extremely loud and incredibly close by jonathan safran foer. both are very unique in their concepts and feel.
