>One might say the Americanization of the planet is this end game of Western expansionism played out to the death march of Romantic agony. But there is no longer some sublime aesthetic guiding this age of entropic decay and saturation, rather it is the product of too much productivity in which the very world of knowledge is collapsing within the folds of non-meaning and stupidity.

Absolutely well put. On a personal level, I might be able to back myself up and enjoy this decay if there was at least some collective, all-encompassing sublime aesthetic, as he mentioned. But there isn't anything. It's just some grimy stickerbook of infinite identities pasted over unceasing overproduction and consumption, covering itself over and over minute by minute until there's no room left

I'm interested in reading a novel about a younger man getting involved with an older woman. Know of any good ones, /lit/?
