No, McEwan is almost the opposite of what they believed in, he is boomer scum

Boomers don't like Don DeLillo or Ian McEwan. Boomers like shit like James Patterson, Clive Cussler, Danielle Steele, Jodi Picoult, and Stephen King (who is way better those other authors, but still).

unironically pynch. delillo is at least more open to the possibilities of pragmatic nuance within the simulacra that implies some transhumanist currents. see: Murray Suskind. With Pynch, everything’s just a weed induced conspiracy and subtle humanist hopes which is literally the hippie movement in a nutshell.

yeah I actually agree strongly but pynchon is a holy cow around here because his books are full of memes
