I have no problem with reality falsifying my beliefs but I really don’t like my fiction rotation cache being invalidated by new historical moods. I don’t think I can enjoy Yes, Prime Minister or The Simpsons ever again. Even Hitchhiker’s Guide is under threat now.

Isn't it possible that some stuff becomes more classic because of the change in mood? No recommendations as yet, but seems possible.

Dune seems resilient. Ever read Player of Games by Iain M Banks? There's a planet-wide firestorm, Zeitgeisty.

I’ve only read one Banks, Use of Weapons. Very good but damn his stuff is loooong. Dune was also too long for me. Gave up after the third volume.

Back on the Asimov train then? Foundation might be a bit of a downer right now. Robots? I'm dipping into fantasy these days. First Dresden Files was fun. Short, noir, funny, nerd wizard in Chicago.

Yeah considering a reread of Asimov. Been a few years.

being treated as an instruction manual.
