But there is some basis in what he is saying. This guy is looking at the big picture. You must not see it, which is fairly normal. I don't think most people think past step 1 or step 2, they're most interested in a specific initial feeling rather than thoroughly considering the possibilities.
I don't say he's right, it's just that I get why he said it, even if he is probably just shitposting and doesn't mean it.
Literature as a form of fine art will become more and more irrelevant. Reading will stay prevalent, but as a niche hobby, a more mindful and slow way of entertaining oneself. Speculating about the future of literature is like speculating about what tv shows will be in demand 50 years from now. A fun and inherently meaningless thought experiment.

>this was a letter he sent to the Supreme Court protesting his disbarment
What a terrible hellscape. Here's a nicer prediction:
A lot of people realize most of the good literature was written pre-1960. We're talking weird fiction, unknown, etc. but even further than that, we will see an entire renaissance of strange/weird fiction, gothic horror, actually gothic in general.
>Stephen King gets accepted as an author of great literary merit, and lines between literary and genre in academia become increasingly vague.
I can see this one happening.
but it will. If you were smart, you'd start killing AI researchers and the people who fund them now before even thinking such a thought will be read by your smart appliances and a suicide drone swarm converges upon your location in thirty minutes or less to deal with the wrongthink.

For your sake, I sincerely hope you don't think like this while also blindly parroting the ridiculous theory that Steinbeck was simply writing "israeli communist propaganda". >There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And the children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill the certificates - died of malnutrition - because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. And in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.
Hemingway beat him to it. Stephen King writes grocery store literature, and if it wasn't for the movies adapted from his books, nobody would give a flying frick about him.
Picrel, look at him and his homosexual son. It's all SHLOCK.
This implies development and innovation — which simply doesn't exist anymore. We can observe this through the total collapse of culture, growing collective thought, and creative bankruptcy. The only new ideas coming into the realm of knowing is simply through unhinged and deranged schizoids on twitter who exist on the periphery of it all.
My prediction for the future of "literature" is simply old books being released with an "updated" vocabulary. Think of the Iliad with homosexuals and Africans (Which I believe has already occurred).
>the great new literary work will be about being a harry potter fan
These fangirls overestimate themselves so fricking hard. We've had Sherlock Holmes for 125 years and no one has written anything about "being a fan" of that.
Also if I wanted to discuss reddit posts I'd be posting on reddit.
Too meta. I think bookfluencers will be the future. Everything is already bending toward YA because they only ever read their own books. I want to say AI writing based on dead authors is next but that’s just me bejng spiteful.
I feel that autistic masturbatory(in the erotic but also the intellectual sense) visual novels have syphoned off the energy that would normally go into the production and reading of CYOA books.
Also, video games have largely taken over the niche of the lowbrow CYOA much like how the pulp fiction novel is now a cultural artifact of an age long gone.

How socially isolated do you have to be to write something like this?

Also this but unironically.
moronic, if things like Pottery can still be considered high art, literature will as well.

>Musical fantasy becomes a new hit subgenre. (Basically just a musical in a fantasy, think the songs in LOTR but even longer)
This is just epic poetry
here’s the other part of the post
>Stephen King gets accepted as an author of great literary merit, and lines between literary and genre in academia become increasingly vague.
I can see this one happening.
>no mention of AI written novels
Puzzling since leddit aspies bought majorly into the hype
This post is from a few years ago, most normies didn't know about AI then
They did the exact opposite. They were the ones being absolute luddites and screeching over AI robbing people of their income.
but it will. If you were smart, you'd start killing AI researchers and the people who fund them now before even thinking such a thought will be read by your smart appliances and a suicide drone swarm converges upon your location in thirty minutes or less to deal with the wrongthink.

>Stephen King as the American Shakespeare
I hope I live long enough to see this realized.
Hemingway beat him to it. Stephen King writes grocery store literature, and if it wasn't for the movies adapted from his books, nobody would give a flying frick about him.
Picrel, look at him and his homosexual son. It's all SHLOCK.
I'd argue Hawthorne beat Hemingway to it, and Melville would too.
Eugene O’Neill or Arthur Miller. Shakespeare was a playwright

Ghost romance sounds pretty cool tbh
That’s literally the single part sounded somewhat interesting lol.
First paragraph had me dying of cringe.
Too meta. I think bookfluencers will be the future. Everything is already bending toward YA because they only ever read their own books. I want to say AI writing based on dead authors is next but that’s just me bejng spiteful.
What's in that pic was unironically part of my plan to have more than just my fantasy published.
This is good for me.
this is one of the worst threads I've ever seen, for several reasons.
>Musical fantasy becomes a thing
I should do that, books written in prose but in which the characters speak solely in verse. Sounds like a fun Project
so, a libretto?
Sort of, but expanded to the length of a novel
I am honestly surprised CYOA books have never really hit it big with a revival.
I feel that autistic masturbatory(in the erotic but also the intellectual sense) visual novels have syphoned off the energy that would normally go into the production and reading of CYOA books.
Also, video games have largely taken over the niche of the lowbrow CYOA much like how the pulp fiction novel is now a cultural artifact of an age long gone.
Choose Your Own Adventure did have a massive comeback, they're called video games now.
