>E Unibus Plurum
Tell us a bit about it. I remember starting reading it a while ago but not finishing it, and I can't remember what it was about

Ulysses and Infinite Jest are both shit, written self-assertively only for the literature critics and to break some predominant literature canon.

All writers are overrated, except for the ones that change your outlook.

Jack Kerouac and Nietzsche are hugely overrated. Also I find them weirdly similar

Regardless of the guys IQ or the validity of his "theory" (lol) his writing is literally edgy Blade Runner fan fiction.

Sample:
>The opening of Bladerunner. They are trying to screen out replicants at
the Tyrell Corporation. Seated amongst a battery of medico-military
surveillance equipment, a doctor scans the eye of a suspected 'skin job'
located at the other side of the room, searching for the index of inhumanity,
for the absence of pupil dilation response to affect:
>'Tell me about your mother.'
>'I'll tell you about my mother...' a volley of shots kicks 70 kilos of
securicrat shit through the wall. Techno-slicked extraterritorial violence
flows out of the matrix.
>Cyberrevolution.
