Hypothesis: The novel as a literary form kinda ended with the end of history. It’s been reruns and reboots and refractors and recasts since 1992.
Movies evolved via comix into extended universes though.

The theoretician of the end of history took it back so yours needs a redo too,... new stories _will_ emerge when we either move to a new economic or political system!

"THE MOST MISUNDERSTOOD THING [about my idea, the “end of history”] was the word ‘history.’ People thought I was saying that nothing was going to happen after the Cold War." - FF
His thesis always involved the idea that we could 'slip back into history [violent political clash]'

Yep.

The End of History in 1989 was real. If you think it wasn’t, you were just expecting nothingness ever after rather than endless reruns and reboots.
What, you really expected the TV to be turned off because there was nothing new on?
