I think several new genres of fiction are being born right now that will break the Industrial Age ones (SFF, mystery, romance, horror, thriller).
One I think is alt-realism. Or adjacent-realism. Not counterfactuals, more like fictional conspiracy theories.

Have you done the same for *form* of fiction? (Think length, type of prose, formatting, use of multimedia, etc.) I think there is something similar going on there too. I also think that these genres and forms are not necessarily as new as they seem, just finally gaining traction?

I think that’s probably overtheorized already by all the hypermedia studies people. I’m more interested in content. I suspect has good knowledge on state of art there. But overall I think media form evolves much less quickly than people want it too.

Oh that’s a neat idea. Like pomo “quotation” concepts in architecture theory. Wonder if there’s equivalent of decorated shed in hypermedia. A blog with a book-like design for example. Or just flourishes borrowed from book typesetting, like drop caps.
weird that these 2 tweets were on the same timeline.
So is Lion King, a remediated version of Kimba (the manga) or was it plain ol' appropriation?
Fair to say that Remediation is an appropriated style to another medium?
