What will the next great American novel cover?

I find it amusing how the novel idea thread's posts either have seemingly archaic plots/tones, needlessly intricate, or are future/tech oriented. The next great novel WILL necessarily be about internet culture: pop #trends, memes, video browsing, social media scrolling and whoring, online dating, more memes and various internet movements, shitposting, lurking on boards, internet isolation and addiction etc. etc.

Anonymous Sun Dec 30 01:07:21 2018 No.12310120

the next great American novel will be a retelling of the Divine Comedy taking place in New Orleans during Mardi Gras where the main character comes to the realization that there is no meaning to life in this manner
there's no paradiso, he kills himself after purgatorio

what about if love is the prob and I don't want to fix that, but I could really use the cash? Just think of a pyramid and a donkey and you'll get the rest if you pay me cold hard cash. Also, what if it's also a detective novel? Who Done Me Good?
