Pragmatic, resigned, simple style, some melancholy. Prose is going to be a nerd thing / guilty pleasure. Flat hierarchies between different publishing houses mean lots of people get published but noone really gets exposure. The internet won't change things that much, some guerilla marketing, mostly networking between authors / publishers themselves. What it really changes is that people don't fucking read anymore.

However, no real movement will emerge since the concept of a real, actual movement goes against the zeitgeist. trends and short-lived hypes mostly. after that, when the west loses weight on a global scale, the EU potentially falls apart and the US have a bruised ego because they're not top dog anymore, i suspect something traditionalist, because that's what people will buy.

A book that is about the reader.
It tells the reader what to do, and in an interesting way, so that the reader feels compelled to do it.
It predicts the reader. Excerpt:

"Flap your wings like you are going to fly to McPizzaHut (that's a McDonalds [fast food establishment that serves a royale with cheese {pulp fiction (movie by le tarantula cuck) reference}

etc. im lazy

or maybe something that says niggers and is racist ironically, like overtly as racist as humanly possible and bigoted in every way and offends literally everybody but with "irony" so people can be like "it's not really racist it has a point!"

I want to do that, but only because I get some kind of weird fulfillment by saying the word Nigger.

"Pragmatic, resigned, simple style, some melancholy". shift away from formalism. brief resurgence of postmodernism circa 1975 in anticipation of and reaction to destablizing global conflicts, an indulgence of rash, cynical, pop culturally specific (as opposed to chaotic, unmanageable) writing that becomes newly naive and idealistic in light of futility. literary movements will no longer demarcate the development of literary technique and application, only reflect its history and political context.

A return to form that still keeps in mind whatever it is we learned since modernism, or just empty attempts to outdo post-modernism.

Your analyses of the current state of affairs is correct, but the world has more or less always functioned this way. Chaotic systems are in flux. People have mostly never been good readers.
