Has anyone written the Slouching Towards Bethlehem for the techno optimism of 2000s-2014ish? 20 sometimes flocking to tech and grew up up with tech-ascendancy, burning-man social explosion, re-socialization of psychedelics, etc. This cohort is now reaching mid-30s. Walls hit.

That’s the analytic description, yes. What I don’t see captured is the ennui of living through slouching. It does not feel utopian when someone breaking smart runs into the Complacent Class locking you out of a home (see NIMBYs), or families delayed.
